Decon Green can clean up the most toxic messes, developers claim

U.S. Army scientists have invented a new cleaning product that can decontaminate surfaces infected with nerve gas, anthrax spores and other gross substances and they say it's environmentally friendly. Mustard gas, the nerve agent VX, anthrex spores or radioactive isotopes have had to have their own cleaning agents, and most of them aren't environmentally friendly. "If the decontaminant comes into contact with the agent, it will destroy it" says George Wagner of the U.S. Army's Edgewood Chemical Biological Center.

Since Decon Green has been created, this will help so much with cleanups and with the environment. Even though its still being tested to see if it fully clears chemical spills, its still progress because no other chemical cleaner, that we have discovered yet, can clean this much and still be environmentally friendly.
