Abstract
A range of suits are available to provide operator protection against biological and chemical agents. These suits are composed of various impervious, non-absorbent materials that are used to reduce the attachment or retention of chemical or biological agents. The properties of the suits and their composite materials have both advantages and disadvantages that have to be considered when selecting appropriate protective wear for any circumstance involving highly pathogenic micro-organisms. This chapter describes the suits available for different purposes and locations when dealing with either biological or chemical agents, and the decontamination procedures that should be carried out following their use.
