Mobile medical facilities designed for decontamination of people from chemical agents, including mustard (H agent), nerve agents such as VX and the G series (including tabun [GA] and sarin [GB]), toxic industrial materials, and some biological agents. These facilities typically include separate areas for disposal of contaminated clothes, washing, and redressing; they may include several showerheads, water-heating capacity, decontamination-solution injectors, and a climate-controlled environment. Mobile medical facilities for decontamination provide a rapid solution in the event of massive emergency situations (e.g., chemical or other biohazardous spills) involving individuals potentially contaminated with bloodborne pathogens, chemicals, or other biohazardous substances.
