New CBRN protective materials and methodology for their testing

Original language description

Despite the Chemical Weapon Convention and ongoing chemical weapons stockpiles destruction the Chemical warfare agents (CWA) still pose a significant threat to civil population, law enforcement and military personnel, currently coming mainly from the terrorist actions. Regarding toxicity the most dangerous among toxic chemicals are organophosphorus nerve agents (military G and V series) and pesticides acting as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. The use of proper, efficient and user-friendly protective equipment is necessary especially during military operations in the battlefield or First responders’ actions at the accident scenes.The need of new material with high overall protection efficiency and low user physiological burden. Combination of recent research findings and new technology. The National Institute for NBC Protection is involved in the development of new types of protective textile materials and new methods and analytical approaches for testing and evaluation of their protective characteristics against CWAs, their mimics and toxic industrial chemicals. Newly prepared air permeable textile materials containing various adsorbents and catalysts undergo several intensive testing procedures focused mainly on the chemical vapor and aerosol resistance, hydro and oleophobic surface properties and catalytic degradation of adsorbed chemical compounds. New types of nano composite textile protective materials were developed in order to maintain or enhance the protective efficiency together with the high air permeability to minimize the physiological burden of the user. The new testing instrumentation and methodology of was developed and optimized to perform intensive tests with correct and reliable results.
