The report proposes two testing protocols, one for passive detectors and one for active detectors, to help ensure the reliable detection of a release of chemical warfare agents. The report determined that testing these detectors by release of chemical warfare agents into the atmosphere would not provide additional useful information on the effectiveness of these detectors than would a rigorous testing protocol using chemical agents in the laboratory combined with atmospheric release of simulated chemical warfare agents.Environmental sciencesResearchUnited StatesEnvironmental engineeringUnited StatesEnvironmental sciencesResearchEnvironmental engineering623.4/592MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973555403321Testing and evaluation of standoff chemical agent detectors4366952UNINA
