Cyanogen chloride decontamination

Hydrogen Cyanide Decontamination. Because of its physical properties, hydrogen cyanide will not remain for long in its liquid state. Decontamination should not, therefore, be necessary. The same is true of cyanogen chloride and cyanogen bromide. 

At rush-hour on a Friday evening in January, a half-dozen improvised chemical devices (ICD) detonate in subway stations in Washington, DC. They produce a hazardous of cyanogen chloride, which dissipates very quickly and affects only a few riders. Nonetheless, placement in crowds with limited egress results In a worried well syndrome of those exposed and over 5,000 citizens demand treatment. A nanoparticle-based cream is distributed that serves as a non-toxic topical decontaminant. The devices, easily constructed from commercially-available materials, are readily-concealable and blend in with their surroundings. This takes place in the world of 1.000 Points of Gravness.
