Abstract:
A substance capable of reducing the effectiveness of a halide-reactive target agent, comprising:halide-resin particles comprising polyhalide ions having a valence of âˆ’1 absorbed or impregnated into resin particles and characterized in that an activated halogenated resin is divided into particles substantially in the range of about 0.1-300 microns before exposure to a sufficient amount of a halogen-substance absorbable by the activated resin to form converted resin particles having a greater proportion of available ionic halogen, said halogen-substance being selected from the group consisting of I2, Br2, and polyiodide ions having a valence of âˆ’1, said converted resin particles capable of being dispersed as a dry aerosol.
