Decontamination and Disposal Methods for Chemical Agents - A Literature Survey

Abstract

A proposed explosive containment system (ECS) is to be used for demilitarization of unmarked chemical munitions in the field. Input is needed for destruction of each of the possible agents that may be encountered. Therefore, a literature survey has been made of decontamination methods for the more common agents. Based upon this survey, recommendations have been given for the best methods of disposal for each agent.
