Abstract

Claims (20)

1. A kit for chemical warfare agent decontamination, said kit comprising a chemical warfare agent decontaminating composition, packaged with a synthetic absorbent applicator comprising a non-woven fabric, cloth, mitt or towelette for application of the composition to a wound suffered by an exposed animal subject, an absorbent pad for removal of the composition and any chemical warfare agent from the wound, and a nerve gas antidote packaged for administering to the exposed subject,

wherein the decontaminating composition comprises active decontaminating compounds consisting of:

peracetic acid in an amount ranging from about 1% to about 6% by weight;

hydrogen peroxide in an amount ranging from about 3% to about 15% by weight;

acetic acid in an amount ranging from about 3% to about 15% by weight; and

the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to acetic acid ranges from 0.5:1 to about 2:1; and

the decontaminating composition further comprises a stabilizer and ingredients to formulate the composition as an aerosol or liquid spray, application granules, a gel, liquid, lotion or irrigation gel.

2. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the absorbent applicator is saturated with the composition.

3. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the absorbent applicator is a mitt.

4. The kit of claim 1 , further comprising a container for safe disposal of used applicators.

5. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the absorbent applicator is saturated and contained inside of a bottle or a pouch filled with the composition.

6. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the absorbent applicator is a towelette.

7. The kit of claim 1 , wherein:

the hydrogen peroxide is present in an amount ranging from about 7% to about 15% by weight; and

the acetic acid is present in an amount ranging from about 7% to about 15% by weight.

8. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer is selected from the group consisting of etidronic acid, disodium ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, citramalic acid, dipicolinic acid, dipicolinic acid N-oxide, and a combination thereof.

9. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the decontaminating composition further comprises a surfactant.

10. The kit of claim 9 , wherein the surfactant is sodium dodecyl sulfate.

11. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the absorbent pad for removal of the composition is soaked in water or saline.

12. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to acetic acid is above 1:1 to about 2:1.
