     28. Water surveillance and area water sanitation control measures, if

     indicated, must be institute immediately after ;i biological attack.                The

     best insurance of water sanitation, r-)rior to the time that surveillance and

     anplication of area control     measures are accomplished, is to boil the water

     for 15 minutes before use.      Under most circumstances      following a biological

     attack, water chlorination      at 10 rpn (10 mg/litre) for 30 minutes would

     ensure safe water.        These t-)rocerlure.-, are not effective against certain

     viruses, --Dor"- or toxins.




     29. Again it should be emphasize that the soldier, Compared to civilian

     is wel7 eciuir)r)en with water niAr4.@4ication tablets, and that military units

     ,nc).Sse.q@ @7ario@i--% systems @or T3u-ifdnation of large amounts of water for

     consumption and hygiene ni-irr)oses.     Filtration should always be the first

     ster) of water r)tirifiration.

     30. Water of unknown origin should never be consaimt-.ti without purification

     or boiling, and it should be remembered that even water n4 known origin mav

     be a threat because of its suitability a--; ;i target for Biological sabotage.

     31. Washing with soan and water is the most effective @imnle nersonal

     hvgdene measure for the control of communicable diseases.                Ali nersons

     suspected of being contaminated by a biological cloud should immediately if

     nossible, take az)nror)riatp. measures to ensure that skin, hair, nails and

     clothing are cleaned and Icent free of disease=nrodiicing organisms.
