The range of physical, chemical and toxicological properties of Toxic Industrial Chemicals (Hazardous Materials) and Chemical Warfare Agents presents a considerable challenge for their destruction and detoxification by decontamination formulations and procedures which may well be effective for Chemical Warfare Agent contamination. For treatment of such military and civilian incidents various products are employed: acid and base neutralizers, all-purpose absorbents, oil only absorbents, hazardous liquid absorbents, spill kits, decontaminating foams, spill containment and material handling products.
