A formulation and method of making that neutralizes the adverse health effects of both chemical and biological compounds, especially chemical warfare (CW) and biological warfare (BW) agents. The formulation of the present invention non-toxic and non-corrosive and can be delivered by a variety of means and in different phases. The formulation provides solubilizing compounds that serve to effectively render the chemical and biological compounds, particularly CW and BW compounds, susceptible to attack and at least one reactive compound that serves to attack (and detoxify or kill) the compound. The at least one reactive compound can be an oxidizing compound, a nucleophilic compound or a mixture of both. The formulation can kill up to 99.99999% of bacterial spores within one hour of exposure.
A formulation for use in the neutralization of at least one toxant, comprising:
A formulation for use in neutralization of chemical toxants, comprising:
A formulation for use in neutralization of biological toxants, comprising:
An aqueous formulation for neutralization of at least one toxant, comprising about 4 weight percent of a first quaternary ammonium salt, about 2 weight percent of a first mixture of alcohols, about 0.2 weight percent of a water soluble polymer, about 3 weight percent of a second quaternary ammonium salt, about 1.5 weight percent of a second mixture of alcohols, and about 4 weight percent of oxidizer.
