NEW METHODOLOGY OF TESTING OF THE DEGRADATION EFFICIENCY OF SOLID DECONTAMINATION SUBSTANCES IN THE FIRE RESCUE SERVICE OF THE CR

Abstract

The paper focuses on testing of solid substances using for decontamination of chemical
warfare agents. It describes the development of methodology for the evaluation of the
degradation efficiency of sorbents in degradation of chemical warfare agents soman, VX and
sulfur mustard. The process of decomposition of chemical warfare agents with solid
decontamination agents was monitored by using FTIR spectrometry with the ATR technique.
The methodology of testing was the result of study and subsequently was introduced in the
FRS CR.
