Abstract
An environmental protection system for rendering biological/chemical agents harmless has a source of radiation such as an ultraviolet light source, which is configured to irradiate a reactive surface, such as one formed of titanium dioxide. The reactive surface has an oxidation potential sufficient to cooperate with the source of radiation so as to render harmless biological/chemical agents in contact with the reactive surface.
