Lakeland Industries' California PPE subsidiary has installed and qualified California's first CO2 turnout gear cleaning and decontamination system at its Riverside facility, which is now operational and accepting turnout gear from fire departments across the United States. The DualPhase Clean process pairs water-based cleaning with CO2 technology and, in UL testing, removed up to 90%+ of heavy metals and up to 99.9% of semi-volatile organic compounds, well above NFPA 1850's 50% minimum removal standard; CO2 alone can remove up to 98% of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
