According to Demirev et al. (2005), chemical warfare agents are either synthetic or biologically derived chemical compounds. Chemical warfare agents possess 

Early detection of these agents plays a cmcial role in minimizing the casualties associated with such an attack. However, the early detection of biological agents is severely limited by the fact that the pathogenic agents have minute differences at the molecular level compared with their non-pathogenic counterparts. The early
