Abstract

Presently, there is no single detector which has all the desirable capabilities and performance functions, and currently available detectors all vary considerably in cost, performance and reliability. As such care must be taken to select a detector based on the abovementioned factors and operational requirements. Furthermore, many detector manufacturers make claims based on their own testing, some of which have not been thoroughly verified by third party laboratories. In this case we have only different stages of the same process: hazardous chemical is used in the production; concerning the hazards and subsequent problems with the legislative regulations of the finances, producers start to search for alternative technology; technology is developed and implemented; technology is used for making majority of the related product without the use of hazardous substance. In the example of phosgene – this process just begun in the near past, in the case of hydrogen cyanide – the process is near the end, and in case of other chemical process is at the end. The old technology with a hazards replaced by new one – more friendly to the environment and human health. Keywords: detection, identification techniques, toxic chemical compounds, toxic industrial chemicals.

Highlights

  • The methods of electronic detection of any toxic chemical compounds (TCCs) and any kind of toxic industrial compounds (TICs) vary because of the difference of their situational use

  • The RAID-M-100 pictured in Figure 3 (A) (Technologies: RAID-M Handheld Chemical Agent Detector), is based on the RAID-M which is shown in Figure 3 (B) (Technologies: RAID-M Handheld Chemical Agent Detector). Both detectors are manufactured by Bruker Daltonics, Inc. (Bremen, Germany) and are currently in use by the German and Danish military. These detectors are Ion Mobility Spectroscopy (IMS)-based and are able to detect, classify, quantify and continuously monitor concentration levels of dangerous vapours specified in their library, whilst being operated single handedly (Daltonics; Technologies: RAID-M Handheld Chemical Agent Detector)

  • All of the TCCs currently considered to be a threat have been known for decades, with the simplest and most prolific TCC being the vesicant, sulfur mustard which was first synthesised in 1823 (2001b; Eiceman, Karpas, 1994)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The methods of electronic detection of any toxic chemical compounds (TCCs) and any kind of toxic industrial compounds (TICs) vary because of the difference of their situational use. (Bremen, Germany) and are currently in use by the German and Danish military These detectors are IMS-based and are able to detect, classify, quantify and continuously monitor concentration levels of dangerous vapours specified in their library, whilst being operated single handedly (Daltonics; Technologies: RAID-M Handheld Chemical Agent Detector). Both detectors have been designed to automatically alternate between positive and negative mode every two to three seconds. IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol V, Issue 15, December 2019 Temperature and relative humidity have been found to have a minimal effect on response times for detecting CAs. at extreme low and high operating temperatures, as stated by the manufacturer, there was a decrease in sensitivity for certain agents. When these species fall back to their ground state light is emitted near 526 nm for the HPO* species and 394 nm for the S2* molecule (see Figure 8) (Sun, Ong, 2005; Nieuwenhuizen, 2006)
