Short description Trace Chemical Sensing of Explosives is the authoritative reference on the science and technologies associated with the chemical sensing of explosives in a wide variety of environments. This book describes the current state of chemical sensing of explosives and is designed to assist in the inclusion of chemical sensors within proposed systems, to inform and educate field workers who use such systems, and to provide a knowledge base those charged with purchasing such systems.
