Impact of Environmental Conditions on the Enzymatic Decontamination of Chemical Warfare Agent Simulants on a Building Material Surface. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, 52:10072-10079, (2013).
Impact/Purpose:
Efficacies of two enzyme based decontamination technologies developed for decontamination of chemical warfare agents were measured as function of operational and environmental conditions mimicking possible outdoor conditions. Bench scale decontamination testing of small coupons was used to evaluate two enzyme-containing products on their ability to decontaminate paraoxon and 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (2-CEPS) selected as simulants of G, V-series chemical agents and sulfur mustard, respectively.
