(A Guide Book)

Chemical warfare agents under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) are considered as the Weapons of Mass Destruction because the destructive effects of these chemicals are toxic enough to be used as chemical weapons. This may include non-living toxic products from living organisms such as botulinum toxin, ricin, saxitoxin etc. Defence industry is dedicated to providing solutions for detection and protection against these chemical warfare agents and explosives. Current efforts focus intensively on development of advanced knowledge, instrumentation and identification systems, technologies for early, rapid, accurate, and sensitive detection and identification of the chemical threats in battlefield or urban settings.

This report provides a review of the open-source literature (unclassified) and s ummarizes information from manufacturers regarding commercially available instruments, technologies and computer-based laboratory systems for environmental alerts, sampling, detection, and identification of chemical warfare agents including explosives and gases. An exhaustive list of over 1100 gadgets, instruments, devices and technologies available from leading global providers is provided with links.

Information provided in the book is meant for reference purposes providing useful information to educate the defence industry, homeland security agencies, local, state and national governments on defence matters and R & D institutions regarding equipment and technologies available to combat WMDs, terrorism, and homeland security for safety of citizens and critical infrastructure. It also helps the end-users to make informed decisions about the equipment and technologies to be used for detection of chemical weapons agents and explosives, their procurement and use.

Executive SummaryExecutive Summary

Hundreds of companies are dedicated to providing solutions for the military defence against chemical, biological, nuclear, radiological, and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

Domestic preparedness against current and emerging threats of WMDs meets the requirements of the International treaties for detection of Biological Warfare Agents (BWA), Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA), Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC), or in the monitoring of food, air, soil, and water.

The present report presents information on compatible instruments, consumables, and computer-based laboratory systems available for detections of chemical warfare agents. This includes explosives for applications in safety needs and analytical chemistry, adhering to the requirements of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and other related treaties around the world.

Chemical agents are of major concern as many of them are manufactured, transported, and dispensed with ease; and symptoms are immediate and mortality is very high. Rapid detection enables faster, efficient and tailored response by military, first responders and homeland security. The knowledge allows assessment of the severity and extent of a hazard. Areas that are clean or contaminated are identified. The information acquired by these systems help in donning of individual protective equipment (IPE), sampling, handling and analysis of situations.

Fully automated chemical detectors have been devised for real-time aerosol sample collection, concentration, detection, and identification in the field while taking care to maintain the highest level of sensitivity and low levels of detection. Many of the commercially available CWA detectors utilize technologies that are adapted from classical analytical chemistry techniques. Chemical detectors are designed for fixed and 24/7 outdoor and indoor monitoring and surveillance, which use principles of flame photometry, gas chromatography / mass spectrometry, infra-red spectroscopy, ion mobility spectrophotometry, photo ionization and flame ionization, laser, Raman spectroscopy, surface acoustic wave, fluorescence and other technologies for detection and identification of the chemical agents including toxic gases and explosives. Tecnologies and equipment are available to counter the effects of chemical agents and a number of protective gadgets and equipment for protection and decontaminating materials are in application. A brief description of the well-known, commercial-off-the-shelf instruments that employ these technologies is provided in the guide.

This report provides a review of the open-source literature (unclassified) and summarizes information obtained from manufacturers regarding the available technologies and commercially available equipment currently employed for the detection of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and toxic industrial chemicals (TICs). The focus of this report is on available equipment, and technologies for environmental alerts, sampling, detection, and identification of chemical warfare agents including information on decontaminants and protective equipment for first responders. This includes commercially available technologies that can be used by first responders to investigate an unusual event that has happened in the environment by collecting, screening and identifying the chemical materials from the field. The aim of the report is to provide useful information about available technologies to help end-users make informed decisions about the technologies used for detection of chemical weapons agents and explosives, their procurement and use.

Information provided in the book is meant for reference purposes for educating the general public, defence industry, homeland security agencies, local, state and national governments on chemical and biological defence matters regarding available equipment and technologies to combating WMDs, terrorism, and homeland security for safety of citizens and critical infrastructure and respond to incidents of CBRNe incidents. Efforts have been made

to list range of available gadgets, instruments, devices and technologies available from leading global providers of instrumentation and technologies providing options best suited to these agencies to meet their requirements.

The purpose of this guide is to provide information on types of detection technologies and not to compare the available technologies. The list is neither exhaustive and nor an endorsement of any technology described herein. Similar technologies may be available from other companies as well. Reviewers may verify the authenticty of the details on websites.

All efforts have been made to provide accurate information of technical specifications primarily based on vendor-provided information; however, where possible the summaries have been supplemented with additional information obtained from reports and websites. Efforts are also made to provide minimum information on the performance metrics in terms of quantity or concentration of organism detected. As far possible, reference to certification by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has also been avoided so as to minimize the biased decisions.
