OSTI ID:5521308
A theoretical study of the effects of entry/exit procedures on the vapor hazard inside an NBC shelter was developed. The model assumes that soldiers will doff their contaminated overgarments in a vapor-rich environment where some vapor can adsorb on their undergarments or skin. When the soldiers enter the air lock, some of the vapor desorbs. The model calculates the time history of agent concentration in the air lock and shelter. The model can be used to evaluate design criteria for chemical shelters and operational procedures for processing personnel through the shelter.
