Abstract

The technique of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) offers a practical and fast detecting method in ambient conditions to estimate whether there may presence contrabands or even chemical warfare agents (CWAs). In this work we have investigated a self-made radioactive 63Ni (β emission) ionization source for ion mobility spectrometry employed with an atmospheric pressure to detect real CWAs, such as GB, GD, HD, VX from aerosol samples. Furthermore, we have experimentally studied the influence of drift tube temperature not only in ion cluster formation in the positive mode, but also the detection limitation of CWAs.
