Validation of a Protocol to Compare the Effectiveness of Experimental Decontaminants with Component 2 of the M258A1 Kit or Fuller's Earth Standard Decontaminants Against Percutaneous Application of Undiluted Vesicant Chemical Surety Materiel to the Laboratory Albino Rabbit

Abstract:

A task was initiated to develop a screening protocol to determine the effectiveness of candidate liquid decontaminant materials when compared to a single component of the standard liquid decontaminant materials when compared to a single component of the standard liquid decontaminant currently fielded by the U. S. Army. The protocol was designed to eliminate those candidates that were not as good as the most effective component of the M258A1 field kit in decontaminating rabbits exposed percutaneously to mustard or Lewisite. Materials as good as or better than the single-component M258A1 standard pass to the next tier for further testing.
