The object of this research is to increase survivability/decrease morbidity of victims exposed to chemical or biological contaminants, through faster decontamination of greater numbers of patients, more expeditious medical treatment of severely incapacitated (non-ambulatory) stretcher cases, ambulatory victims, and decontamination of smaller equipment items. This system will address the needs of mass decontamination due to assaults with chem-bio weapons of mass destruction. It will be applicable to the requirements of Haz-Mat responders and private industry. Research will develop a portable, self-contained, rapid decontamination unit that provides biochemical protection for workers previously protected by Level A or B suits. Workers' fatigue will be significantly reduced while their "available time on task" is increased, thus increasing the flow of patients-per-hour through decontamination. Reduced time that chem-bio contaminants are on the body, coupled with quicker medical treatment, will directly enhance survivability of patients. Decontamination workers can be trained to lower levels than HazMat Technicians who utilize Level A or B protection, thereby freeing these specialists and equipment for other tasks. This system will be reasonably inexpensive, therefore widely available, and simple to use. Accessory equipment required to integrate it into fixed facility decontamination processes and mobile field applications will also be developed. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: This decontamination system can be utilized by: government Haz-Mat response teams, DMAT, MMST, clandestine drug lab take-down teams, fixed and mobile applications; Decontamination at emergency departments and field hospitals; Military by deployment with small and large units, mobile hospitals, and chemical weapons depots; Private industry at chemical plants and transportation facilities.

这项研究的目的是通过更快地对更多的病人进行消毒，更迅速地对严重丧失行为能力（非流动）的担架病人、流动的受害者进行医疗治疗，以及对较小的设备进行消毒，提高接触化学或生物污染物的受害者的生存能力/降低发病率。这一系统将解决因大规模杀伤性化学-生物武器袭击而造成的大规模净化的需要。它将适用于有害物质应急人员和私营企业的要求。研究将开发一种便携式、独立、快速的去污装置，为以前由a级或B级防护服保护的工人提供生化保护。工人的疲劳将大大减少，同时他们的“可用任务时间”也会增加，从而增加每小时通过净化的病人流量。减少化学生物污染物在人体上停留的时间，加上更快的医疗，将直接提高患者的生存能力。去污工人可以被培训到比使用A级或B级保护的危险品技术人员更低的水平，从而使这些专家和设备可以用于其他任务。该系统将相当便宜，因此广泛可用，并且使用简单。还将开发将其纳入固定设施净化过程和移动现场应用所需的附属设备。拟议的商业应用：该去污系统可用于：政府危险品响应小组，DMAT， MMST，秘密药物实验室拆除小组，固定和移动应用；在急诊科和野战医院进行消毒；军事部署，包括大小单位、流动医院和化学武器库；化工厂和运输设施的私营企业。
