摘要: Recent terrorist events underscore the urgent need to develop a comprehensive set of health-protective cleanup standards and effective decontamination technologies for use in restoration civilian facilities. Accurate scientific information remains limited area biological warfare agents. However, new guidelines calculated values are emerging initial re-entry long-term reoccupation following chemical This article addresses airborne, soil, surface exposures release G-type agents VX. Cleanup goals should be tailored type population that may exposed, potential exposure times, other scenario-specific considerations. Three different airborne concentrations proposed public sector One value is recommended re-entry; more conservative monitoring increased confidence; third, even concentrati...
