Decontamination water

Decontamination HTH, STB slurries household bleach DS2 solution hot, soapy water. Decontaminate liquid agent on the skin with the M258A1, M258, or M291 skin decon kit. Decontaminate individual equipment with the M280 individual equipment decontamination kit. 

Skin Contact Remove victim horn the source immediately decontaminate the skin immediately with copious amounts of water decontaminate clothing with steam or by boiling 20% alcoholic caustic soda is effective on material, but may damage it seek medical attention immediately. Ingestion Give victim milk to drink seek medical attention immediately. 

TCDD is perhaps the most potent toxin known to humans. Animal studies have shown TCDD to be fatal in doses as small as 10-9 times the body weight. Because TCDD is also insoluble in water, decontamination is difficult. Nonlethal doses of TCDD result in chloracne, an acne-like disease that can persist for several years. 

Use soap/water decontamination beginning with the most symptomatic victims.

MiKIE is a mobile, modular biological water treatment technology used for the treatment of organic contaminants. The system was developed and patented by John D. Bogart and is commercially available from Bogart Environmental Services, Inc. According to the vendor, the MiKIE system has been in use for water decontamination on several sites for nearly 5 years.

In membrane distillation, two liquids (usually two aqueous solutions) held at different temperatures are mechanically separated by a hydrophobic membrane. Vapors are transported via the membrane from the hot solution to the cold one. The most important (potential) applications of membrane distillation are in water desalination and water decontamination (77-79). Other possible fields of application include recovery of alcohols (e.g., ethanol, 2,3-butanediol) from fermentation broths (80), concentration of oil-water emulsions (81), and removal of water from azeotropic mixtures (82). Membrane (pervaporation) units can also be coupled with conventional distillation columns, for instance, in esterifications or in production of olefins, to split the azeotrope (83,84).

Also, the agents used to decontaminate children should be careftiUy selected. Bleach or hypochlorite solutions are not recommended for use with children due to the possibility of skin irritation or damage (Rotenberg et al, 2003). Water is the gold standard for decontamination. When employing water decontamination, the temperature of the water must be addressed. Children, especially newborns and infants, are prone to hypothermia and hemodynamic instability from cold water. Water at a comfortable temperature is recommended along with a good supply of blankets which can be used to quickly warm up pediatric patients after water decontamination. In some situations, indoor sprinkler systems have been used when outdoor conditions were inhospitable.
