OSTI ID:574934
Six samples of mustard (HD) were decontaminated using water with additional degrading by bioreactions. These materials were tested dermally in adult New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits at 1.0 ML/kg to assess their dermal irritation hazard. Results indicate that all six decontaminated HD water by-products no longer possessed dermal irritancy properties. A control 1.0% HD/PEG-200 sample produced severe dermal irritation in all 12 rabbits tested. A control sample of thiodiglycol produced mild dermal irritation in rabbits that lasted <48 hr. It was concluded that reacting HD with water is a very efficient method of HD destruction.
