DECON GREEN (Trademark) Development and Chemical Biological Agent Efficacy Testing

Abstract

The development of DECON GREEN (Trademark) from its inception to the present is described, and efficacy data for VX, GD, TGD, HD, THD, and anthrax are presented. Examples of consumer products containing the identical or similar ingredients of DEC ON GREEN (Trademark) are given. The efficacy data reveals the tremendous decontamination efficacy afforded by a solvent-based, material-penetrating decontaminant. However, materials susceptible to agent absorption and absorption of the decontaminant are apt to suffer deleterious effects - the inevitable price of thorough decontamination.
