PC 2 Flashcards
Types of Contamination (concept)
Primary: subject of a direct bio or Chem Attack or are in the path of a fallout from nuclear detonation
Secondary: result from the passage of vehicles, personnel or equipment through contaminated area

Away from direct/indirect enemy fire or observation
Passive hazard avoidance defensive operations

Weathering concept
Some agents disperse rapidly and all agents eventually lose their toxicity.
Weathering is used to decontaminate non-critical equipment.
Operational Decontaminants
RSDL (Chemicals) Dettol (Bacteria, Fungi, Yeast, Mildew) Liquid Bleach (All Bio Agents (except spores), blister and V agents) SDF-CASCAD (Radioactive Material) GD-6 (Chemicals)
