The CREATIVE Decontamination Performance Evaluation Model

The project objective is to develop a semi-empirical, deterministic model to characterize and predict laboratory-scale decontaminant efficacy and hazards for a range of: chemical agents (current focus on HD); operational surfaces common to ground vehicle, aircraft, equipment construction (e.g., aluminum, glass, CARC, silicone); realistic threat challenges (0.5-10 g/sq m); environmental conditions (10-40 deg C); and decontamination process parameters (Decon, residence time). The model will enable faster characterization of decontaminant performance and provide the capability to predict performance and hazards at untested conditions. See also ADM202527.
