Although these agents are typically employed in unoccupied sections
of an aircraft, the possibility of human exposure still exists
during handling, storage, and transport. Thus, it is important to
know if the accidental release of the 12 agents in areas of typical
occupancy would result in differing threats to life safety. At
least two topics are important in assessing the impact of a
potential release of an agent: 1) how does the agent distribute in
an occupied space upon an accidental release, and 2) how does this
release affect personnel who may be exposed? For the former, a
series of tests was conducted to study the release of four of the
twelve agents in a sealed compartment to measure the airborne
concentration of agent that results from complete venting of
containers of typical size into spaces of typical volume. These
tests were augmented with field modeling to extend the range of the
test results to other compartment geometries. For the latter,
published toxicological results for chronic or acute exposure are
summarized. It is important to note that in these tests, no humans
were exposed.
