Book Synopsis Analytical Chemistry Associated with the Destruction of Chemical Weapons by : M. Heyl
Download or read book Analytical Chemistry Associated with the Destruction of Chemical Weapons written by M. Heyl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major problems associated with the disposal of chemical weapons is that the agents have degraded over time, some quite seriously. Detecting and identifying the products of this decomposition are necessary prerequisites to the safe, complete and environmentally benign destruction of stockpiled weapons. The book presents and discusses both basic and novel techniques in a variety of areas of analytical chemistry which are relevant to achieving the ultimate destruction of chemical weapons. Presentations address sample collection and preparation, mass spectrometry, chromatographic techniques, NMR, and air monitoring techniques. The work shows that analytical methods do exist to effectively support the destruction of chemical munitions. While further research is needed, the book provides an excellent baseline for further advances in the field.

Download or read book Thermal Desorption - Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry Methods and Strategy for Screening of Chemical Warfare Agents, Their Precursors and Degradation Products in Environmental, Industrial and Waste Samples written by Oliver Terzic and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is the international organisation set to oversee the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention treaty that prohibits the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling, retention, transfer or use of chemical weapons by States Parties. To this end, the OPCW has established the strict verification procedures relying essentially upon the on-site sampling and analysis. A transportable analytical laboratory was carefully assembled and versed to fit the task. Following more frequent deployment, a major deficiency of the on-site laboratory capacity and the number of weaknesses of the on-site sample preparation approach were revealed. The aim of this PhD thesis was to enhance the capability and efficiency of the OPCW on-site laboratory. The work resulted in a set of novel analytical methods and strategies for the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrumental technique that are not restricted to the chemical warfare agent related field, but also convenient for any forensic or environmental field laboratory use."--Samenvatting auteur.

Book Synopsis Sampling Handling and Analysis Method for Chemical Warfare Agents in Soils Contaminated With Chemical And/or Biological Warfare Agents by :
Download or read book Sampling Handling and Analysis Method for Chemical Warfare Agents in Soils Contaminated With Chemical And/or Biological Warfare Agents written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sample handling and analysis method was developed for the identification of chemical warfare agents (as intact compounds or as their hydrolysis products) in samples suspected to contain either chemical or biological warfare agent contamination. The method, based on aqueous extraction, autoclaving of the aqueous extract and LC-ESI-MS analysis was evaluated using three soil samples spiked at the 80 microgram/g level with triethyl phosphate, isopropyl methylphosphonic acid or thiodiglycol. All three compounds were readily extracted and identified following LC-ESI-MS, with triethyl phosphate undergoing some hydrolysis during the autoclaving procedure. This sample handling and analysis method for soil (or other) samples will form a cornerstone of the chemical/biological warfare agent identification strategy being developed at DRDC Suffield to meet National commitments.
Book Synopsis Testing and Quality Assurance Plan for the Evaluation of Wipe Sampling Methods for Collecting Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs), CWA Degradation Products, and Toxic Industrial Chemicals from Various Surfaces by : Battelle Memorial Institute
Download or read book Testing and Quality Assurance Plan for the Evaluation of Wipe Sampling Methods for Collecting Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs), CWA Degradation Products, and Toxic Industrial Chemicals from Various Surfaces written by Battelle Memorial Institute and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wipe sampling is an important technique for the estimation of contaminant deposition on surfaces. Numerous wipe sampling methods exist, and each method has its own specification for the type of wipe, wetting solvent, extraction procedure, and determinative step to be used, depending upon the contaminant of concern. Wipe sampling methods for the purposes of analytical determination of surface contamination largely do not exist for compounds of interest to the homeland security community. The goal of the project is to provide a wipe sampling method or methods and associated method performance data for collecting selected chemical warfare agents (CWAs), CWA degradation products, and toxic industrial chemicals from five types of surfaces (laminate, galvanized metal, bare wood, industrial carpet, and painted concrete). The objective of this testing and quality assurance plan is to present procedures for testing, which will include documenting the performance of the methods at or below residential risk-based cleanup goals. Testing will be conducted under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Homeland Security Research Center's Technology Testing and Evaluation Program. Note that an addendum has been added to this document as an appendix which addresses modifications to this plan which were made after the start of testing.
Book Synopsis Analysis of Chemical Warfare Agents: General Overview, LC-MS Review, In-House LC-ESI-MS Methods and Open Literature Bibliography by :
Download or read book Analysis of Chemical Warfare Agents: General Overview, LC-MS Review, In-House LC-ESI-MS Methods and Open Literature Bibliography written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention by more than 165 States Parties has reduced the risk of chemical warfare agent use, but there still remains a concern that other parties may make use of these weapons against civilian or military targets. Concerns within the defense and homeland security communities over possible terrorist use as well as the requirements for a verifiable Chemical Weapons Convention have driven the development of analytical methods such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for the detection and identification of chemical warfare agents. This paper provides a general overview of chemical warfare agents and analytical methods for their analysis, a focused review of LC-MS applications, a summary of in-house LC-MS methods developed at DRDC Suffield, and a comprehensive bibliography of analytical open literature papers dealing with chemical warfare agent detection and identification. The review sections provide the homeland security and defense communities with an overview of chemical warfare agents and analytical methods for their determination. Researchers interested in developing new methods for chemical warfare agents may use the reviewed material to quickly ascertain the state of development of analytical methods, in particular LC-MS methods, for chemical warfare agents. The reviewed materials will be used for reference purposes during the development of high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) mass spectrometry, a new analytical technique with the potential to rapidly separate and identify chemical warfare agents. The report concludes with 67 references. Appendix A is a 454-item bibliography of open literature analytical methods for the detection and identification of chemical warfare agents, their degradation products, and related compounds. Paper copies of each paper are held at DRDC Suffield and this comprehensive database of methods continues to be updated regularly using Procite software.
Book Synopsis Chemical and Biological Terrorism by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Chemical and Biological Terrorism written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-03-12 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threat of domestic terrorism today looms larger than ever. Bombings at the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City's Federal Building, as well as nerve gas attacks in Japan, have made it tragically obvious that American civilians must be ready for terrorist attacks. What do we need to know to help emergency and medical personnel prepare for these attacks? Chemical and Biological Terrorism identifies the R&D efforts needed to implement recommendations in key areas: pre-incident intelligence, detection and identification of chemical and biological agents, protective clothing and equipment, early recognition that a population has been covertly exposed to a pathogen, mass casualty decontamination and triage, use of vaccines and pharmaceuticals, and the psychological effects of terror. Specific objectives for computer software development are also identified. The book addresses the differences between a biological and chemical attack, the distinct challenges to the military and civilian medical communities, and other broader issues. This book will be of critical interest to anyone involved in civilian preparedness for terrorist attack: planners, administrators, responders, medical professionals, public health and emergency personnel, and technology designers and engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter describes procedures for the collection and analysis of samples of various matrices for the purpose of determining the presence of chemical agents in a civilian setting. This appendix is intended to provide the reader with sufficient information to make informed decisions about the sampling and analysis process and to suggest analytical strategies that might be implemented by the scientists performing sampling and analysis. This appendix is not intended to be used as a standard operating procedure to provide detailed instructions as to how trained scientists should handle samples. Chemical agents can be classified by their physical and chemical properties. Table 1 lists the chemical agents considered by this report. In selecting sampling and analysis methods, we have considered procedures proposed by the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and peer-reviewed scientific literature. EPA analytical methods are good resources describing issues of quality assurance with respect to chain-of-custody, sample handling, and quality control requirements.

This book was released on 2006-02-16 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 2 Prof. Dr. Vladimir Mikhailovitsh Kolodkin , Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Ruck 1 Institute of Natural and Technogenic Disasters, Udmurt State University, Izhevsk (Russia), 2 Institute of Ecology and Environmental Chemistry, University Lüneburg (Germany) During the Cold War a whole arsenal of deadly chemical weapons was allowed to build up on both sides of the ideological divide. Happily, today the problems are reversed. Expertise is now required in the field of safe and environment-friendly disposal of chemical weapons and cleaning up of contaminated sites all around the world, but not least in the ex-Soviet-led countries. The participants and speakers to the NATO-Russia advanced research workshop on the “Ecological Risks Associated with the Destruction of nd th Chemical Weapons”, hosted by the University of Lüneburg on 22 - 26 October, 2003, therefore, came from many different parts of the world. Of the eight countries represented at the workshop, two were ex-Eastern- Block, and six were Western countries. Yet the West was by no means overrepresented. On the contrary, the Russian expert-speaker contingent, with 33 participants, did justice to the size of their country – and to their chemical-weapons problem – and provided the majority of active participants. In all, there were 57 participants, of which 11 dispatched from the TACIS project “The development of the chemical weapons” facility at the detached plant No 4 of OAO Khimprom, Novocheboksarsk.
