A form of dry Decon, eliminates the immediate threat to people, property and the environment. To remove contained items and transfer them to a contaminant disposal factory |
Isolation and disposal |
|
To gather the contaminated by sucking it from the surface and placing it in the container, can cause an explosion |
Vacuuming |
|
To remove contaminated by Decon with water or soapy water, one of the easiest ways, contamination run off must be controlled |
Washing |
|
To destroy or inactivate the agent |
Chemical method |
|
Sticks to the sorbent material without adding volume to the servant, creates heat that could cause spontaneous combustion, porous clay and other clays |
Adsorption |
|
To let the contaminant Degrade itself overtime by allowing it to age |
Chemical degradation |
|
The process used to destroy the majority of pathogenic microorganisms |
Disinfection |
|
To add a chemical to a containment, in order to change its chemical structure, with the goal of eliminating or rendering it harmless |
Neutralization |
|
Destroying all micro organisms |
Sterilization |

Types of Decon available for use by responders |
|
The removal of clothing removed approximately 50 to 80% of contamination, use bags to collect identify the individual clothing removed from the victim, wet the victims down before moving their individual clothing |
Decon Corridor |
|
High-volume low pressure, remain the same for temperatures as low |
36°F |
|
CHEMTREC , Local and regional poison control centers and the national response center can frequently be a source of technical information to aid and determining the correct Decon procedure |
Decon procedure resources |
|
Assessing the effectiveness of secon |
Visual, wiping, monitoring |
|
The Decon process is carried out in three fundamental stages |
Primary, secondary, tertiary |
|
The three most important reasons for decontaminating exposed victims are |
Removing, protect, prevent |
|
Initial size up, victim control, Decon setup, mass Decon execution, post Decon |
Guidelines identify five basic steps for the process of mass Decon |

|
Proper positioning of fire apparatus and hose streams are important |
Mass Decon execution |
|
Treatment takes priority over Decon, determine whether contamination is life-threatening, remove the victims clothing decon from top to bottom, diaper left |
Non-ambulatory |
