The objectives of this study are to develop an experimental system appropriate for studying chemical protection by the mechanism of destructive adsorption with these self-decontaminating surface treatments applied to traditional porous textiles and to determine whether the addition of these features will add significant protection from dermal pesticide contamination. A test procedure for chemical protective clothing fabrics was evaluated to focus on chemical protection by the mechanism of adsorption on conventional woven fabrics treated with two self-decontaminating textile treatments, Nhalamine and MgO nanoparticles. Both treatments demonstrated some degree of degradation of the pesticide aldicarb. However, the MgO treated samples achieved farther degradation than the N-halamine. These types of materials have potential for enhancing chemical protection and comfort given relatively low volume contamination conditions as modeled in this experiment.
