Abstract
Experiments were conducted to measure the effect of decontamination of such generally used cleansers as surfactant and chelating agent on the fallout contamination and to choose a decontamination reagent to be used for aircrafts and vehicles contaminated by fallout.
As a result, it was confirmed that chelating agents such as sodium pyrophosphate and EDTA have cleansing effect on the fallout contamination and also although surfactant such as sodium n‐Dodecylbenzenesulfonate showed a multiplier effect when mixed with the former, its own decontamination effect was very little.
Based on the results thus obtained, a compound most effective as a decontamination reagent was determined.
