          IV. IDENTIFY EFFECTS OF TSP ON OTHER NBC PROTECTIVE MATERIAL.

              A. Use the TSP in combination with the M17 and M40 protective mask.
          There is no procedural change in the use of the protective mask when using TSP.
                   1. There is no expected loss of vision resulting from eye Irritation
          or fogging of the mask lens.

                   2. There is a very slight vinegar odor.
              B.   When using TSP with the battle dress overgarment (800), the
          effectiveness of the BDO should not be reduced. When you use TSP as directed,
          you can expect only a minor concam-ination of the active resin on the BDO with
          the small amount of w ter in the TSP.

              C. When you'use TSP under prolonged or close range monitoring with the
          automatic detectors, you may get a false positive response for G agent on the
                   1. M8 Al detector or Chemical 'Agent'l-lon.itor (C41).
                   2. M8 paper (after TSP completely dries on the paper)
              D. TSP  does not give a false positive response for
                   1. G-agent with the M256 chemical detector kit

                 '72. Mustard agent with any of the fielded detection systems.

          CLOSIt4G: Proper use of TSP can reduce adverse effects of vesicant (blister)
          agent to your skin. The commander will tell you when and how (extensively) to
          use TSP. Follow directives carefully; apply the appropriate amount of TSP to
          the (1) body areas adjacent to the closures of the battle dress overgarment
          (BDO),   (2) groin area, (3) crease and cracks of the buttocks,    (4) area
          around the belt line, ard (5) arm pits. Do NOT apply TSP to open wounds.

          Remember, TSP can cause false positive responses to nerve agent on the M8-Al,
response for
          mustard agents.
