Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development, National Homeland Security Research Center (NHSRC). Published: 6/2019. This 94-page report describes the decontamination efficacy research that was conducted using three decontaminants, for use after a release of chemical warfare agents VX or sulfur mustard (HD), that were selected based on their perceived high efficacy and good material compatibility. The results of this research will inform the Environmental Protection Agency response community and other federal, state, tribal, and local agencies on decontamination options for sensitive equipment, and should be considered as part of the remediation strategy to clean up VX- or HD-contaminated sites.
