The report includes the review for three categories of technologies:

  • Liquid
  • Foam and gel
  • Gas and vapor-phase.

The following information is provided for each technology reviewed:

  • A description
  • An assessment of the technical maturity
  • An evaluation of existing data (wherever possible, information on material compatibilities, hardware performance, and generation of by-products is provided)
  • Current uses in addition to building decontamination
  • User concerns (e.g., health and safety issues)
  • Advantages and disadvantages
  • Future research areas.
