FYI, further information about the new chemical decon protocols (including a decision-support tool and guidance tool, as well as the scientific studies on which they are based) can be found at the links below. I think that it's a good idea for lab EHS people to know what hazmat responders will expect if they arrive a site that includes chemically contaminated victims...

Just an FYI that we‰??ve been highlighting PRISM and ASPIRE for several weeks on our CHEMM home page:
https://chemm.nlm.nih.gov/

The announcement was here:
https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2019/02/21/new-hhs-sponsored-research-provides-new-tool-and-updated-guidance-mass-chemical-decontamination.html

Excerpt: ‰??ASPIRE and the guidance are integrated into the Chemical Hazards Emergency Medical Management (CHEMM) web-based resource created by ASPR and NLM as part of a suite of preparedness and emergency response tools that includes the CHEMM Intelligent Syndromes Tool (CHEMM-IST), Dermal Exposure Risk Management and Logic for Emergency Preparedness and Response (DERMaL eToolkit), and now ASPIRE. The guidance and ASPIRE also are incorporated into the latest edition of the WISER CHEMM mobile app, which is expected to be available in the coming days.‰?? UPDATE: The apps are now available.

Best regards,
Bert
