The Remote Detection of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons Using Laser-Induced Fluorescence.

Abstract

This publication discusses the feasibility of remotely detecting gas-phase polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that might be produced during the combustion of propellant, explosive, and pyrotechnic (PEP) materials. Laboratory scale and remote laser-induced fluorescence measurements are presented.
