Article Synopsis
- Sulfur mustard (HD) and Lewisite (L) are blister agents with potential for terrorist use, and their effects on various building materials were tested against different decontaminants.
- Bench-scale testing showed that while all decontaminants reduced the presence of Lewisite, full-strength bleach was the most effective for reducing Sulfur mustard on surfaces.
- The effectiveness of these decontaminants varied based on the type of chemical agent, material tested, and the specific decontaminant used, with extended reaction time not significantly improving results.
