This interesting property also makes some substances unlikely to dissolve in water. So if you spray water on them, nothing happens. He overcame this problem by using an emulsion, a solution with tiny suspended droplets. Basically it's an aqueous system, a water system, that dissolves large amounts of organic substances, including toxic substances. A common emulsion that one might see around the house is milk.
Milk consists of a water solution with large droplets of fat.
Added to this, another chemical must destroy the toxin. Sprayed onto a toxin, the emulsion quickly traps the poison inside the tiny droplets where the bleach destroys them. By reacting the sulfur, we make it inactive. These are compounds that are not toxic but have similar chemistry to mustards and nerve agents. However he has been told that his system performed well during tests on the real agents, and an emulsion system similar to his was used to decontaminate a Japanese subway system after a Sarin gas attack by a Japanese cult.
