A Review of the Literature on the Applications of CW Agents with Recommendations of Further Research on Thickened GD

Abstract

In the interest of clarity it is desirable that the subject of thickened GD be considered under a number of sub-headings; in the present review these will be: (1) the preparation and properties of the thickened agent; (2) its stability in storage and in dispersion; (3) its dispersibility; (4) its persistence in the dispersed state and its availability for 'pick-up', ie, for transfer from inanimate objects to personnel; (5) its toxicity to personnel both by inhalation of the vapour or of aerosol and by the penetration of the clothing by the liquid or the vapour and the subsequent penetration of the skin; and (6) its detection when deposited on the ground and on other inanimate surfaces and the decontamination of those surfaces.
