Should you wash CBRNE contaminated clothing with LADS?

Handling clothing contaminated with CBRNE agents requires preventing the spread of contamination and using approved decontamination methods. Washing such clothing with LADS is not appropriate because it can spread contaminants through the washing machine, plumbing, and environment, and may not reliably remove or neutralize all agents. The safer, correct approach is to isolate the contaminated garments, seal them for proper handling, and route them through authorized decon channels or disposal per established CBRN procedures. This protects personnel and reduces the risk of secondary contamination.
