Response Characteristics of Chemical Detector for DICP Simulant Vapor and Human Effects for its Response Level

Methods for evaluation of the contaminated level of DICP simulant at the test site and human effects in that situation were discussed for the case we perform the decontamination test at the laboratory or field with chemical simulant. Test specimens were prepared as a test coupon or the specimen with the test box filled with test materials. Remain level of DICP during the test was measured by chemical detectors of KCAM2, LCD3.3 and AP4C. KCAM2 and LCD3.3 were shown higher detection capability or sensitivity with the detection level below 0.01 mg/m³ for DICP vapor than the case for GB chemical agent we can look up from the literature. Human hazard effects against exposable DICP vapor during decontamination work in the field test were deduced by comparing the toxicity between DICP and GB chemical agent and the density of DICP vapor can be generated during the test.
