Wide-area mapping and identification system for detection of chemical contamination on surfaces

Raman Scattering Techniques for Defense and Security Applications

“…Owing to their extreme toxicity, much of the work on CWAs has been conducted on simulant chemicals with similar molecular features, such as organophosphates or on the hydrolysis products of these materials. ,,,− It is worth noting that many of simulants used are the same as the hydrolysis products. As such, they remain valuable detection targets in their own right, with the potential to act as markers of the release of CWAs.…”
