How to Use This Calculator
- Select the Decon Solution Type (1=Soap/Water through 5=Specialized) based on the contaminant identified in your site assessment.
- Enter the Solution Volume (gallons) needed for all decon stations and the Target Concentration (%) of active agent.
- Choose the Contaminant Type (1=Organic, 2=Inorganic, 3=Biological, 4=Radiological) to determine contact time and rinse cycles.
- Review Agent Needed (fl oz) and Water Needed (gallons) to prepare the correct proportions for each decon station.
- Check Contact Time (min) and Rinse Cycles to ensure personnel remain in the decon corridor long enough for effective decontamination.
- Use Total Solution w/ Rinses (gal) and Estimated Agent Cost to stock and budget decon supplies before the operation.
