ABSTRACT

Table 3.1 identifies some of the systems available to detect, and in some cases identify, various chemical and biological agents. The

symbol indicates that the listed value is the minimal concentration detectable by the detector system. If a range of concentrations is listed, then the manufacturer has specified that the detector works optimally within that range. Results from analysis of agent concentrations outside of the specified levels (either greater or lesser values) may not be accurate. A designation of “Qualitative” indicates that the system will only identify the given agent.
