Sandia Decon
Formulation co-developer Maher Tadros demonstrates application
of the formulation from a pressurized canister. The foam
could be sprayed from handheld canisters or from trucks,
or it could be incorporated into high-profile government
military buildings. The formulation is non-toxic. Protective
clothing is required to protect decontamination personnel
from chemical and biological agents. |
