M9 deployment is associated with which MOPP level?

• A. MOPP Level 1
• B. MOPP Level 3
• C. MOPP Level 0
• D. MOPP Level 2

Answer: (D)

M9 detector paper is used to quickly identify the presence of liquid chemical agents on surfaces while you’re in a potentially contaminated environment. You place M9 strips on equipment, clothing, and surfaces to see a color change that signals contamination, so you can take appropriate protective actions. This is tied to wearing the MOPP ensemble and operating in environments where contamination is possible, which is MOPP level 2. At this level you’re donning protective gear and proceeding with tasks in a suspected contaminated area, making M9 deployment the standard practice to confirm contamination before touching surfaces or moving to the next area. Lower levels aren’t expected to have contamination, so M9 deployment isn’t routine there, and higher levels involve different emphasis and procedures.
