Thank you, Ralph. I also noticed that. I was surprised that I hadn't heard this in any other venue.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] C&EN article on emergency decon

There's an interesting article in this week's copy of C&EN on updated protocols for decontamination of victims of chemical exposures. It can be found at
https://cen.acs.org/safety/New-step-better-chemical-decontamination/97/i15
and suggests that dry wiping of affected areas should proceed dousing with water.

I wonder if this will affect protocols for use of laboratory safety showers any time soon?
