Abstract: A chemical composition is disclosed herein for effectuating a complex detoxification of fumes, chemical fogs, and a reduction of visibility obscuration caused by fumes and dispersed extinguishing agents in confined areas of fire origin.The composition includes four solid, crystalline components: two chemical nucleators for cooling and rapid condensation of water vapors, two oxides for converting carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide; and includes two clathrates in aqueous solution, for inclusion complexation of primary toxic gases and components of the dispersion mediums in smokes, and dispersed phase in the water vapors.

Abstract: A chemical composition is disclosed herein for performing a rapid neutralization of formaldehyde vapors, control of incidental releases, detoxification and disposal of spent or unused aqueous and/or non-aqueous formaldehyde solutions, and feasible conversion of the waste formaldehyde into a coarse pharmaceutical product.The composition is consisting essentially of an alkanolamine for rapid reaction with formaldehyde vapors, with formaldehyde in aqueous and/or non-aqueous solutions and for optimizing the reactions; a coumarin metabolite for neutralizing formaldehyde in concentrated aqueous solutions; urea for forming an inclusion/addition compound with formaldehyde, and; beta cyclodextrin for inclusion complexation of the methanol and methylene glycol in inhibited formaldehyde solutions.
