chemical detection
Finding hazardous compounds
Chemical detection is the identification of specific chemical substances, typically for safety, security, or scientific purposes.
Detection methods range from simple indicator strips to sophisticated electronic sensors and mass spectrometers.
Applications include monitoring air quality, screening for explosives or drugs, identifying hazardous materials, and detecting chemical warfare agents: The airport installed new chemical detection equipment.
