Sandia Labs developed a type of foam
to decontaminate anthrax that federal buildings have been using for more than a
decade. They said the foam used for anthrax can also decontaminate ricin.
Sandia
Labs said there is a chance the foam is being used now to clean up after a
suspicious letter sent to Obama. That letter contained ricin, a poison found in
castor oil plant seeds.
Mark Tucker, the foam’s mastermind, said he developed
the sudsy solution before the 2001 anthrax attacks. The decontamination foam
cleaned up the federal buildings after the anthrax scare.
