Nerve Agents- Decontamination of patients. The importance of early decontamination can not be over emphasized. Decontamination of the skin should be accomplished quickly if it is to be fully effective. Liquid agent may be removed by fullers earth or chemically inactivated by the use of reactive decontaminants. Decontamination personnel should wear a mask and protective equipment while decontamination is performed. Once a casualty has been decontaminated, or the agent fully removed, no further risk of contamination exists. The casualty s body fluids, urine, or feces do not present a chemical warfare (CW) hazard. 

The young RAF officer was sent to collect the corpses after the clouds of nerve gas had supposedly dispersed. Although clad in gas mask and protective suit, Cockayne collapsed. It was the end of his RAF career. While in hospital recovering from the gas s attack on his nervous system he was discharged from the force, and later diagnosed as a psychiatric case. For all his civilian life Cockayne was to... 

History of tile Army s Protective Mask, US Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD (1996). 

Fig. 16-3. The nosecup of the M45 protective mask has a single, large hole in the center through which exhaled air is expelled on its way to the exit valve in the main mask. Inhaled air, which has passed through the canister, passes up and around the side of the nosecup, preventing fogging of the mask s lenses, after which it passes through the valve (seen on the reader s left) on its way to the soldier s respiratory tract.

The M41 Protection Assessment Test System (PATS) was fielded to validate the protection afforded by the M40, M42, and M17 series masks (Figure 16-4). The PATS is a miniature, continuous flow, condensation nuclei counter. It samples particles from ambient air and compares them with particles in the air contained inside the wearer s mask. The resulting numerical values are then used to determine the protection factor (PF) of the mask. The result of the pass/fail test is determined by the mask s ability to provide a PF of 1,667 or greater, which is the minimum army requirement. The PATS ensures that the mask is the proper size for the individual wearer, and that there are no critical leaks in the mask system due to missing or defective parts or improper maintenance. 

This new design effort was based on the need for little-to-no visual impairment. The requirement was met by placing the protective mask s eyelens 14 mm from the eye, which kept the spherical curvature equidistant from the corneal surface to eliminate parallax. This lens configuration increased visual capability to within 4% of nonmasked vision in the same individual. Each mask is fitted to an individual crewman and remains with that crewman while he remains on flight status.2122... 

Masks and protective clothing arc needed to defend against many toxic chemicals. Reduction in combat efficiency from wearing protective gear is estimated to be up to 50 percent. Proliferators may not provide the same measure of protection that is afforded U.S. troops. Training and protection reduce the effectiveness of chemical weapons. 

Such assessments cannot be accepted without data on the number of gas casualties and the proportion of gas to other casualties -information which is simply not available. Undoubtedly there were severe casualties whenever the Abyssinians, always barefoot and clad only in togas and cotton trousers, passed through a contaminated area or were struck by mustard spray. Under the tropical heat, the mustard burns appeared more rapidly than in the First World War, and the troops lacked either masks or protective clothing. Not until 6 April 1936 were the first 1800 gas masks made available by the Ethiopian Women s Work Association. Only late in the war did the Ethiopian government import medicines to treat the gas burns. Casualty records were not kept, apart from the men, women and children who received treatment from the Red Cross units. As the latter were few in number and were scattered across both fronts of the war, they could treat only a small proportion of the wounded, without gaining any impression of the total number involved. Members of the British Red Cross Unit, however, were quoted as saying that they alone had... 

Probably the least understood piece of safety equipment is the respirator. Although dust masks may protect workers against many airborne particulates, these offer little or no protection against volatile chemicals. Respirators should be considered for use only by trained and certified employees, only under special circumstances, and only after all other controls of airborne contaminants have been implemented. In the laboratory, exhaust fans and fume hoods represent the first line of defense to contain and/or exhaust volatile hazardous materials. Without appropriate training, certification, medical approval, and careful fitting to the user s face, the use of respirators may, by itself, pose a significant health hazard.

By the time the USCWC and the British ISCCW came to consider the question of standardization of protective equipment, most items had been issued to the troops in the field. The committees decided that it would be more feasible at that late date to obtain interchangeability by training American and British troops to use each other s protective equipment than to attempt to standardize such items.The USCWC, therefore, made arrangements with the British for the supply of training materiel and equipment for demonstrations and inaugurated publications to acquaint U.S. and British chemical officers with each other s materiel. Although both committees considered it desirable to obtain standardization of one assault gas mask for British and American troops, their efforts to achieve these objectives were unsuccessful.
