The fast detection of explosives from the vapor phase would be one
way to enhance the protection of society against terrorist attacks.
Up to now the problem of detection of explosives, especially the
location of explosives whether at large areas e. g. station halls,
theaters or hidden in cars, aircraft cargo, baggage or explosives
hidden in crowds e. g. suicide bombers or bombs in bags has not
been solved. Smelling of explosives like dogs do seems to be a
valuable tool for a security chain. In general different strategies
can be adopt to the basic problem of explosive detection: * bulk
detection * vapor detection Normally meetings cover both aspects
and applications of the detection. Even though both methods might
fulfill special aspects of a general security chain the underlying
scientific questions differ strongly. Because of that the
discussions of the scientists and practitioners from the different
main directions are sometimes only less specific. Therefore the
NATO Advisory Panel in Security-Related Civil Science and
Technology proposed a small series of NATO ARW's which focuses on
the different scientific aspects of explosives detection methods.
This book is based on material presented at the first NATO ARW of
this series in Moscow which covered the topic: Vapor and trace
detection of explosives. The second ARW was held in St. Petersburg
and treated the topic Bulk detection methods. The third workshop
was held in Warwick and focused on electronic noses which cover a
somewhat different aspect of vapor detection.
