Description
Summary:The purpose of this test was to evaluate two Clean Earth Technologies (CET) decontamination solutions against agent at the laboratory scale per a customer request. The Chemical Decontamination Solution (CDS) was evaluated against the chemical agents, RD, GD, and VX, using standard stirred reactor and panel tests. The results were compared against DF200. The Biological Decontamination Solution (BDS) was evaluated against Bacillus anthracis using standard methods and compared against bleach. The work was conducted for information purposes only; this test was not intended to certify any commercial product. The test procedures and results are detailed in this report. Test results show CET CDS to be superior or comparable to DF200 in the decontamination of HD, GD, and VX. Test results also show CET BDS to be superior or comparable to bleach in the destruction of Bacillus anthracis spores. The work discussed in this report was conducted from April to December 2006.
