Abstract | We can’t preclude the possibility of the use of chemical agents by terrorists - I can recall the attempt committed with Sarin in the Tokyo-subway in 1995. For that reason it is necessary to know the chemical situation in the battlefield and in our urban environment as well, for example in the subway. Actually the possible detection principles of toxic-agent-detection-devices are chemical (simple detection devices: e. g. paper detector, detection tubes), biochemical, physical (ion mobility spectroscopy, flame photometry, photoacoustic spectroscopy, infrared or laser remote sensing detection-systems). To control the real time chemical situation it is essential to establish, set up an accurate and rapid reconnaissance. The solution is a monitoring system, which includes developed toxic-agent-detection-devices. |
