Chemical agent detectors

To combat attacks with fast-acting agents in the terminals, continuous visual surveillance of densely populated areas and observation of behavior patterns may be as useful as any detector. The TSA should study the feasibility of the widespread deployment of surveillance cameras in populated areas, coupled with behavioral-pattern-recognition software, as an alternative to chemical agent detectors. Such cameras could also provide a dual-use value in improving the overall security environment. In addition, many critical nodes in the air transportation system (control rooms, emergency-response centers, and so on) are supplied with air that is recirculated from publicly accessible areas this makes them vulnerable to being disabled by the release of...

Scott Goetz was asked whether the 911 attack change the market for chemical agent detectors. We ve been in this market for thirty years this is what we do for a living, we were making detectors before 911, making more detectors after 911. We had sold the APD 2000, we d sold probably 500 or 600 detectors before 911, so none of these are new instruments or new markets for us. It s basically what we do for a living, but we certainly have seen an increase in sales since 911. [Pg.84]

Individual Chemical Agent Detector (ICAD) A miniature lightweight chemical agent detector that can be worn by an individual. It detects and alarms to nerve, blood, choking, and blister agents and is intended for a variety of applications. It may be used as a point detector. [Pg.317]

Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) This detector will employ surface acoustic wave technology to detect nerve and blister agents. It will also allow detection of new forms of nerve agents. [Pg.319]

M256-Series Chemical Agent Detector Kit A kit used by military personnel to detect and identify field concentrations of nerve, blister or blood agent vapors. The kit consists of twelve samplers/detectors and a packet of M8 detector paper. It is used at the squad, crew or section level to detect and identify field concentrations of nerve, blister or blood agents vapors. It is usually used to determine when it is safe to unmask, to locate and identify chemical hazards, and to monitor decontamination effectiveness. [Pg.322]

MONITORING Available monitoring equipment for agent GD is the Automatic Chemical Agent Detector Alarm (ACADA), bubblers (GC method), and Chemical Agent Monitor (CAM). [Pg.443]

Acoustic wave sensors are also used to detect nerve and blister agents. The surface acoustic wave chemical agent detector (SAW Mini-CAD) is a commercially available, pocket-sized instrument that can monitor for trace levels of toxic vapors of sulfur-based mustard agents (e.g., distilled mustard) and G nerve agents (e.g., tabun, sarin, soman) with a high degree of specificity. Colorimetric tubes are the... [Pg.162]

A good practice is to monitor the workspace inside the fume cupboard with a continuous handheld or tabletop chemical agent detector, if such a device is available. There are several models commercially available based on ion mobility, flame photometric, enzymatic, or photoacoustic detection (9). [Pg.358]

ISCAD The IMS/SAW chemical agent detector (ISCAD) is an NRL program outside the Joint CBD Program. It strives for ultralow false-alarm rates by integrating two CW point detection technologies (IMS and SAW) that have orthogonal principles of operation. The objective is a handheld chemical detector with subsecond equilibrated chemical detection at threat levels for survey mode and vehicular applications. The ISCAD incorporates NRL s pCAD, which dramatically improves SAW signal kinetics and tolerance to environmental effects. [Pg.165]
