An Automated Air Sampling System Comprising an OPTIC GC Injector II, Quantification of VX Vapour

Abstract

An automated air sampling system comprising an OPTIC GC injector was evaluated with the nerve agent VX. The system is suitable for the near real time monitoring of VX vapor in humid air at a concentration level of 0.1 mg/m3. Lower concentrations remain to be investigated.
