Workshop on Decontamination, Cleanup and Associated Issues for Sites Contaminated with Chemical, Biological, or Radiological Materials
Much valuable info. {Chlorine dioxide gas treatment "yellowed wall paint and corroded aluminum."} {Re. decontamination of Hart building from anthrax. "Obtaining insurance also contributed significantly to project delays... A public relations firm provided community relations support. In addition, the project had the mayor’s support. Sabre was open about their activities and made themselves available to community groups and media outlets. Sabre held process demonstrations and arranged a round-table discussion for the community the day before the scheduled fumigation."} {"...decisions about reoccupation are made by the local health agencies, so CDC responses to an incident must be carefully crafted and must respect the command structure."} { "...evaluating active moieties in uniforms for personal protection. Catalysts, such as metal oxides, activated carbon, and polyoxometalates would be included in uniform fabrics to improve personnel protection from chemical agents vapors."} {"...found that the hydrogen peroxide concentration decreases as a function of flow rate,temperature, and distance traveled along the ductwork. These results indicate a need for increased injection rates or multiple injection points. Condensation is a concern when increasing the injection rate. } {"...identified significant materials effects for ozone and chlorine dioxide, significant disinfectant effects, significant concentration effects, rapid decay in consumption rates (for ozone and chlorine dioxide), and non-zero endpoints...Ceiling tiles and office partitions continued to be consumers of chlorine dioxide and ozone throughout the disinfection phase... " "...was tested to prove that *chlorine* gas was not formed."}
