WARNING

After Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) exposure of vehicle, all air

filters shall be handled with extreme caution to avoid exposure to residual toxic agents or

radioactive materials.

If vehicle is exposed to chemical or biological agents, servicing personnel shall wear

protective mask, hood, protective overgarments, chemical protective gloves, and boots.

All contaminated air filters shall be placed into double-lined plastic bags and swiftly moved

to a segregation area away from the work site.

The same procedure applies for radioactive dust contamination; however, the CBRN team

should measure the radiation before filter removal to determine the extent of the safety

procedures required per the CBRN Annex to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

The segregation area in which the contaminated air filters are temporarily stored shall be

marked with appropriate CBRN placards.

Final disposal of contaminated air filters shall be in accordance with local SOP. Failure to

comply may result in personnel death, injury, and/or damage to equipment.
