Decon must be considered if the contamination levels exceed the negligible risk levels as follows: • Chemical and biological contamination causes mild incapacitation in 5 percent or less of unprotected soldiers operating for 12 continuous hours within 1 meter of contamination. For the chemical-agent monitor (CAM), this equates to a one-bar reading at a distance of 1 inch from the surface. • Radiological contamination can cause mild incapacitation in 2.5 percent or less of unprotected, nonpreviously exposed soldiers. This equates to a reading of no more than 0.33 centigray per hour (cGy/hr). 1-9.
