Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to the field of decontaminating composition effective for the decontamination of any material, equipment or any personnel exposed to toxic chemical agents like chemicals warfare ('CW') agents, industrial chemicals, insecticides and the like. More particularly, the present invention provides an adsorbent decontamination formulation comprising nanosized metal oxide for the decontamination of chemical warfare agents such as sulphur mustard. The proposed composition advantageously enables decontamination of an object surface more than about 99% within a minute and simultaneously the composition causes chemical degradation of about 90% of the adsorbed contaminant within 24 hours. The invention further extends to provide a decontamination kit based on the above adsorbent decontamination formulation.
