DECON WITH HAND CLEANER

I have been asked why we could not use waterless hand cleaner for decon
of hands during emergency response activities.  Are there any problems
with using this type of cleaner for deconning of skin (excluding the
face area)?  My first thought was that the organic solvents might cause
more of a problem by the absorption of the contamination through the
pores.  Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
