Methodology Development for Measurement of Agent Fate in an Environmental Wind Tunnel

Abstract

The environmental fate of chemical warfare agents on targeted surfaces is important in modeling vapor and contact hazard for decisions influencing safety of personnel in contaminated areas. Several laboratory wind tunnels are under development and include microbalance, vapor sampled, and contact angle wind tunnels. A wide spectrum of methodology development is required to control and measure physical parameters and analyze mass distribution. The methodology developed to date will be described and examples provided.
