Efficacy of Water-Only or Soap and Water Skin Decontamination of Chemical Warfare Agents or Simulants Using In Vitro Human Models A Systematic Review

This literature review examined the extent to which soap and water are sufficient decontamination procedures for chemical exposures, based on in vitro models. The authors found that this method achieved partial decontamination of chemical war agents, and in some cases increased their absorption rates. The authors called for continued research to determine more effective methods
