Disclosed herein is an elastomeric article having a hydrogel donning coating. The sorbents of the present invention have particular application for the sorption of hydrophobic contaminants, particularly constituents of AFFFs, surfactants andor perfluorinated or polyfluorinated compounds. The support member for supporting a shadow mask is solidified by forming multiple-layer laminates. The anode chamber may include an insulating shield oriented between the anode and the ionically resistive ionically permeable element, with opening in a central region of the insulating shield.
