Feasibility of Formulating DECON GREEN with Airfraft Deicing Fluid: VX, GD, and HD Reactivity

Abstract

DECON GREEN is a reactive, universal decontaminant for VX, HD, and G agents composed of bicarbonate (baking soda), hydrogen peroxide, and alcohol. The use of two currently fielded aircraft deicing fluids, containing ethylene glycol and/or propylene glycol and water, as substitutes for the alcohol constituent was assessed by examining the VX, GD, and HD) reactivity in formulations using these materials.
