Activated carbon textile (C-Text) was chemically modified to incorporate oxygen- (C-Text-O), nitrogen- (C-Text-ON), and/or sulfur- (C-Text-OS) containing surface functional groups, aiming to enhance their reactive adsorption capacity. The modified textiles were evaluated for their ability to detoxify 2-choloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) in both vapor and liquid phases, under dry and humid conditions. The maximum amount of water adsorbed was directly affected by the surface area (R
