Decontamination Methods - Chemical Removal

After physically removing contaminants, the area should undergo a wash/rinse process with cleaning solutions.

Physical removal of gross contamination should be followed by a wash/rinse process using cleaning solutions. These cleaning solutions normally utilize one or more of the following:

Dissolving contaminants
Halogenated solvents
Surfactants
Solidification

Because of the potential hazards, decontamination using chemicals should be done only if recommended by an industrial hygienist or other qualified health professional.
