Strength water-washed cloths

Tables I-IV summarize the preceding results in terms of the ratios of tetrahydridoborate-treated to water-washed cloth for color change and strength retention. Table I shows that the TMA treatment does little to affect the change in color of new or slightly degraded cloth, but it is quite effective for those cloths that have been aged significantly. Table II yields similar conclusions for NaBHi, although NaBHi does not appear to do as well as TMA. This result indicates that extremely long...

Emulsifiable concentrate formulation of Triallate, diluted to field strength concentration (1.8% a.i.), was used to contaminate cotton twill fabric. The best laundry procedure is to pretreat the work clothing with a pre-wash commercial soil and stain remover containing a blend of surfactants and solvents, launder in hot water (60°C), and then launder a second time. Approximately 18% of the pesticide remains in the fabric using the above procedure after a single wash when no pretreatment and warm water (50°C) were used, as much as 48% of the Triallate remained.

Apply once or twice daily, preferably after washing with soap and water. Treatment should be started with lower strength formulations. Adverse effects can include local skin irritation, such as scaling and redness, particularly on commencement of therapy. If this occurs advise the patient to reduce the frequency of application. Benzoyl peroxide formulations can also cause bleaching of clothes.

Small Areas Decontaminate with copious amounts of full strength household bleach. Removal of porous material, including painted surfaces, that may have absorbed Vesicant vapor may be required as these materials could continue to re-release vapor after exposure has ceased. Casualties/personnel Speed in decontamination is absolutely essential. Remove contaminated clothing inunedi-ately. Remove as much of the agent from the skin as fast as possible without spreading the material. Immediately wash skin and clothes with a bleach solution that is no less than one part household bleach in nine parts water. Rinse with copious amounts of water. To be effective, decontamination must be completed within one minute of exposure. In all cases, clothing should be removed because it may contain "trapped" liquid or vapor. 

Personnel Wash skin with soap and water. Collect and disinfect all wash and rinse solutions. For clothing and equipment, consult local agriculture assistance offices. If unavailable, wash all surfaces with full strength household bleach insuring a minimum contact time of 30 minutes. Follow this with normal appropriate cleaning procedures for the item.
