(wikipedia.org)
- Dry decontamination reduces concerns associated with cold weather decontamination while also speeding up the decontamination process by allowing victims to self-decontaminate (or be decontaminated by a first responder with minimal cross contamination). (wikipedia.org)

- However, the obtainable effects are limited (estimated to maximum 20-30%) and have to be combined with organic solvent extraction if high decontamination rates are needed. (uib.no)
- Rapid
- Rapid, mass decontamination following a nuclear reactor accident or terrorist "dirty bomb" attack may be in the offing with Berkeley Lab researchers reporting they have begun seeking FDA approval for trials of an orally administered decontamination agent. (scienceagogo.com)
- radioactive
- Common features include: the ability to use extremely fine or coarse media with densities ranging from plastic to steel, the ability to use hot water and soap to allow simultaneous degreasing and blasting, elimination of dust-so silicacious materials can be used without worry, hazardous material or waste can be removed without danger-e.g., removal of asbestos, radioactive, or other poisonous products from components and structures leading to effective decontamination. (wikipedia.org)
- Blast
- The most effective ice blast cleaning applications use consistent-sized particles to provide an even cleaning effect. (wikipedia.org)
- methods
- In addition, some contaminants are water-reactive and wet decontamination methods may only increase the potential hazards. (wikipedia.org)
- high
- Our gaseous systems provide the ability to achieve complete distribution and a thorough penetration of chlorine dioxide to each and every surface within your facility, including microscopic cracks and crevices to deliver an extremely high level of decontamination, something other agents such as vapors, mists, and fogs cannot promise. (biosafety.com.au)
- Due to their high volatility, cyanide agents generally need no decontamination. (wikipedia.org)
