Impact/Purpose:
Efficacy data for non-spore-forming biologicals (Burkholderia, Yersinia, and VEE) in three soil types. Data help emergency responders select effective decon options following biological contamination incidents.
Description:
Outdoor contamination incidents such as those following non-spore-forming zoonotics (Burkholderia, tularemia, FAD, etc) may necessitate decontamination. Currently, COTS disinfectants have been assessed for a limited number of indoor and outdoor (concrete) materials. Previous incidents (i.e., Burkholderia and FAD) involved potential contamination of soil. Data are needed to predict the performance of products on this matrix, so that effective remediation plans can be developed.
