When a chemical attack happens, proper decontamination needs to occur to get the people safe and to restore the property.
Decontamination is the reduction and/or removal of chemical agents by physical means or chemical means such as neutralization or detoxification. The most common problem associated with potential decontaminant products are ineffectiveness due to incompatibility or the generic nature in how they work.
Desired characteristics of a decontaminant are: neutralization of all chemical agents (broad spectrum), safety (non-toxic and non-corrosive), ease of application, rapid action, non-production of toxic end byproducts, stability in long term storage, affordability, ease of deployment.
The first decon step after an attack involving the release of a chemical is identification of the compound in order to provide an appropriate treatment method. Chemical spills and releases can be in the form of gas, liquid, solid, fumes, dust, fibers or vapors. They may be manufactured or naturally occurring. For treatment of chemical spills various products are employed: acid and base neutralizers, generic absorbents, oil only absorbents, hazardous liquid absorbents, spill kits, spill containment and material handling products.
With the increase number of attacks, and the variety of chemistries used, having a broad-spectrum product like FAST-ACT can allow for rapid response without the need for complex decisions when time for mistakes cannot be made.
FAST-ACT solves all of these problems when an attack occurs. The rapid deployment of FAST-ACT can known-down vapors, neutralize acids, and breakdown harmful toxic chemicals. Some of the most common chemicals used in an attack include: acids, caustics, toxics, and compounds that readily disperse in the air.
