Detection of Chemical Agents and Related Compounds in Water Using Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Technology

Abstract

This report documents the performance of the Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Technology for the detection of various chemical compounds in water. Three classes of compounds were tested, chemical agent simulants, hydrolysis products, and chemical agents. These compounds were tested at varying concentrations to determine the minimum concentration detectable.
