The phosphodiester bonds of the polynucleotide backbone in DNA would be broken.

The phosphate of one nucleotide is covalently bound to the sugar of the next nucleotide in DNA molecule (or hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and the 5' carbon atom of another sugar molecule (deoxyribose) to form two ester bonds).

Hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds is catalyzed by the action of enzymes phosphodiesterases.

Lorico [155]
When evacuating victims and personnel currently facing danger to their lives, an establishment should have a safe evacuation routes. The evacuation route should be placed in the Exclusion Zone which means that it is a large site with obstructions and not safe until the safety area is reached. Another would be developing the Contamination Reduction Zone which is designed for individuals that are facing chemical dangers. Decontamination while inside the building is inadvised but would be applied in the arrival to the said zone. An access to potential routes should be available. Obstructions like locks, blocked doors are inadvisable. Routes should be free from items that are not needed within the area. Also, multiple routes that are separated from each other is recommended for evacuating numerous amount of people at the same time or when fire blocks one, there would be another choice available.
