CHAMBER TESTS WITH HUMAN SUBJECTS. 13. SPECIAL TESTS OF CC-2 AND CARBON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Abstract
Some special tests on the protective characteristics of aqueous CC-2 impregnated clothing and carbon rayon clothing were performed. Previous contamination with H vapor has no significant effect on the protective value of CC-2 impregnated clothing if the impermeable content has not been seriously lowered. Tests on the effect of salt water showed that: (a) CC-2 suits wet with salt water during exposure to H vapor provide much greater protection than corresponding dry clothing; (b) The presence of the dry inorganic constituents of salt water has no effect on the protective capacity of CC-2 impregnated clothing. S-461 Protective Ointment was found to be more effective than S-330 Protective Ointment in restoring the effective Cl+ content. Patch test studies showed that severe burns result from wearing H or HN contaminated carbon rayon cloth (#148) when substances such as oil, S-33O Protective Ointment, or water, are added to the cloth. Under the same conditions contaminated but untreated cloth products negative or minimal reactions.
