This timely book covers the most recent developments in the
chemical detection of explosives in a variety of environments.
Beginning with a broad view of the need for and the potential
applications of chemical sensing, the book considers the issue of
how to effectively include chemical sensing into systems designed
to find hidden explosives devices. Offering a firsthand look at the
latest technologies direct from those who are actively developing
them, the book features: A look at the history of the field,
including the contributions of recent programs A brief explanation
of the chemistry of various explosives and differences in the place
where they may be detected An introduction to the problems
presented by trace element sensing An overview and comparison of
the technologies currently being used and developed Case studies of
field experiences with chemical sensors A look at the emerging
threat of non-traditional explosives
This book is an important reference for explosives engineers,
systems engineers involved in the development of related devices,
government agencies and NGOs involved in demining efforts, military
and law enforcement specialists in mines and explosive ordinance
disposal (EOD), as well as environmental scientists and chemists
involved in explosives research.
In addition to providing field workers with knowledge that will
help them decide where and how to search for explosives using
chemical sensors. It will provide them with an understanding of the
potential and the limitations of chemical sensing in their search
for and identification of dangerous devices.
