Claim:
1. A one part, solids blend decontamination composition for eradicating chemical or biological warfare agents, consisting of: a. a solid acetyl donor consisting of a blend of both acetylsalicylic acid and encapsulated or non-encapsulated tetraacetylethylenediamine, which have been pre-coated, prior to mixing with other solid components of the composition, with an alkaline hydrolysis resistant coating compound, which is water soluble and is not itself an acetyl donor, consisting of: b. a solid peroxygen source, consisting of sodium percarbonate, sodium perborate, potassium percarbonate, or potassium perborate, or combinations thereof, wherein the amount of the acetyl donor utilized is from about 5% to about 50% by weight based upon the total weight of the composition; wherein the amount of the peroxygen source utilized is from about 10% to about 70% by weight, based upon the total weight of the composition; and wherein the amount of the coating compound utilized is from about 1% to about 40% by weight, based upon the total weight of the composition, wherein the blend is complete in and of itself and is readily distributed as a single package product which when mixed with an existing water supply on site forms a solution having a concentration of peracetic acid of at least about 0.5% to about 15% by weight and a peroxygen concentration of from about 0.5% to about 15% by weight, based upon the total weight of the blend and water.
