BIODECON and how it works with chemical agents

BIODECON is one of the most interesting ways to destroy chemical agents like VX and other chemicals from the environment. This method can also be used in the future to remove toxic waste from the ground, even if it would be not produced for weapon use. The chemicals that are used in BIODECON are not poisonous, which means that they can be used without a special protective suit, or it can be used to clean clothes, eyeglasses and other kinds of personal equipment, what have been contacted the chemical weapons. 

That system can be used in many cases when the chemical agents have used as weapons. This kind of research gives a very advanced and ecological way to destroy chemical weapons. The thing is that those chemical agents are poisonous, and there is needed many types of knowhow if we would want to destroy those weapons from the Earth. But the problem is that chemical weapons are cheap, they are brutal, and the casualties would not leave for feeding. And the use of those weapons gives an effective psychological threat in the mind of the enemy. 

Chemical weapons are prohibited in international laws, and that rises one very good question in the mind of people. Could it be possible that agents, who are working for the United Nations would slip in the bases, where is manufactured or stored chemical weapons, and destroy those weapons? 

That kind of question is very good to bring to the table because in many conflicts chemical weapons have been used. The reason why those weapons are prohibited is that modern military men have protective suits and resistant chemicals or medicals against those weapons. The protective suits are suitable against traditional chemical weapons like chlorine and phosgene. But against nerve agents must be used atropine. In this kind of case, those weapons would be effective only against civilians. 

But if the chemical weapons have been used, that means that the area must be cleaned very sharply, and if the used method also destroys military chemical there would not need to store or collect it anywhere. That would make cleaning action work effectively and also cleaning the area from chemicals would be faster. And the larger areas can be cleaned in a very fast period if we would compare this kind of cleaning to the case, where the poison chemicals would first collect to some kind of tank, and then some high-temperature system will burn it away. 

But there is one risk in this kind of effective cleaning chemical agent from surfaces by destroying the chemical structure of the molecule. That kind of chemicals allows destroying the evidence of use chemical weapons. In this scenario, some state uses chemical weapons in some area and then removes the chemicals from layers, for hiding the trace of the use of those extremely brutal weapons. And in the end, I must say, that the chemical weapons are brutal and dangerous things, which has a very big effect on the enemy, especially if they have no protective suits or protective medicals. The last ones are needed against the nerve agents.
