U.S. EPA. SURFACE DECONTAMINATION EFFICACY STUDIES FOR CHEMICAL WARFARE BLISTER AGENTS. US Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, OH, EPA/600/S-16/275, 2017.

Impact/Purpose:

Because Blister agents, or vesicants, are agents that persist on surfaces, it is critical to have effective decontamination methods. This technical brief summarizes the findings from three studies in which the decontamination efficacy was determined for various liquid contaminants when applied to various surfaces that are contaminated with blister agents (vesicants). This overview provides decision‐makers with practical information on surface decontaminations options during a blister agent response.
