Abstract
Main features of the R&D resulting in the new means for primary decontamination of chemical warfare agents based on the chemisorption principle introduced into the Czech Army's individual decontamination mean IPB-80 and into the Czech Civil Protection first aid kit ZPJ-80, and in the upgrading of sets for secondary decontamination PCHB-60-P and PCHP-60-P are presented. First results of R&D on universal solutions for detoxification of super-toxic lethal chemical warfare agents on human skin are shown and discussed.
