EVALUATION METHODS FOR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AGAINST CHEMICALS

Evaluation by permeation assembly, closed chamber HD (Distilled sulphu r mustard) drop, static diffusion and TNO GC methods was carried out f or permeable and impermeable protective clothings for protective poten tial against CW agents and for quality control. Multiple HD test was e mployed in the case of the samples which gave a very high sulphur must ard breakthrough times. Indigenously developed protective clothings we re found to be comparable to their foreign counterparts in their perfo rmance.
