Scintigraphic Evaluation of Decontamination Lotion for Removal of Radioactive Contamination From Skin

Abstract

The formulated lotion assisted in the effective removal of radiocontaminants by decontaminating the radionuclides. Moreover, minimal and easily manageable radioactive waste was generated by this process. Further investigation regarding the infusion of formulated lotion into ready-to-use skin wipes for self-decontamination may be useful for mass casualty scenarios.
