In a scenario of military or civilian exposure to chemical warfare agents (CWA), emergency procedures include immediate body surface decontamination.

The resulting level of contamination should be low enough to allow the victims survival and to limit irreversible damage of victims' skin, eyes, and mucosal membranes.
