What Are the Challenges in Dermal Decontamination?
Several challenges make dermal decontamination complex:
Rapid absorption: Some chemicals are rapidly absorbed through the skin, making timely decontamination crucial. Variable effectiveness: The effectiveness of decontamination methods can vary based on the nature of the contaminant. Skin damage: Harsh decontamination methods can cause additional skin damage, complicating recovery. PPE limitations: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may not always provide complete protection, leading to exposure.
