Biological DECON
by Kenneth Moravec


There is no hard fast rule that will handle every single biological out there and those that are not our there yet. So here are first so guidelines to follow on decontamination. First of all we are assuming that have already have on sufficient protection to even be messing with this stuff to begin with.

Proper protection for MOST biologicals is a class A suit with a gas mask with appropriate filters, rubber boots, and rubber gloves. Now if you are using less than this say a N-95 dust mask, full body Tyvek suit and latex gloves then what can I say? You are taking unnecessary chances with your life and the lives of your family.

Either way here is a general almost fits all way to DECON:

OUTSIDE your home

• leave your mask on and take it off last
• wash down with soap and water (lots of water) your entire body with your suit or clothes on
• using a 1 Tbl. spoon of liquid bleach to 1 pint mixture in a spray bottle spray down your entire body
• wash again with soap and water (lots of water)
• spray again with the bleach solution
• wash again

Class A Protection suit removal:

• remove your outer gloves (leave your inner gloves on)
• remove your rubber boots and lay them out to dry so they can be used again
• (dump the 4 gallons of water you sweated out of your boots)
• if your are using a PAPR unhook the battery box and breathing tube
• remove your suit starting at your head, peeling it inside out down to your feet
• carefully unroll it (right side out) and lay it out to dry so it can be used again
• remove your gas mask or face piece
• remove your inner gloves and throw them away in a proper bag for proper disposal
• remove what ever other clothes you have on
• wipe down your face piece or gas mask with a light detergent solution (NO BLEACH)

Other protection measures removal:

• with an open trash (thick lawn bag type) bag which will be thrown away
• remove any shoes and put them in the bag
• if you are using a Tyvek suit remove it and put that in the bag
• if you are not using a Tyvek suit remove the rest of your clothing and put it in the bag
• remove your dust mask and put it in the bag
• remove your gloves and put them in the bag
• tie up the bag and put it in a safe place for proper disposal

Now last time wash down with soap and water completely, dry off and then go in your home and redress.
