Abstract: A chemical contamination monitoring system is provided for monitoring and decontaminating protective clothing that has been exposed to toxic chemicals. The system includes a decontamination chamber in which the clothing is supported and a spray assembly, including a plurality of suitably directed spray nozzles, for spraying the clothing with a wash-solvent. Hot air is directed over the clothing to volitalize the contaminates and, after passing over the clothing, the hot air is withdrawn for analysis using gas chromatography or other known techniques. The used solvent can also be analyzed.
