... levels of other industrial and environmental contaminants that can interfere with chemical agent detection makes the CMA's monitoring tasks very challenging. In order to assess CHEMICAL AGENT MONITORING CHALLENGE this challenge, the committee reviewed the CMA's chemical In order to protect its workforce as well as both the general agent monitoring requirements, the chemical and physical public and the environment near its facilities, the CMA properties of the stockpiled chemical agents, and the former monitors airborne chemical agents at exceedingly low levels.

... The committee finds that neither the formance of the current CMA airborne agent monitoring CMA's plans to possibly set alarm levels at 1.0 AEL/SEL systems and for evaluating potential novel agent monitoring nor the inclination of state regulators to specify alarm levels technology, the committee reviewed the science of analytical of 0.2 AEL may be optimal. The committee recommends trace gas detection and quantification and the components of that the Army should consider continuing to use alarm levels trace gas monitoring systems.

... Army and other relevant stakeholders should assess whether public protection would be significantly enhanced by the development and deployment of dispersed fixed or portable CHEMICAL AGENT MONITORING SUMMARY fast-response agent sensors or the development of a mobile The committee also reviewed specific requirements for fast-response agent sensor platform capable of detecting and airborne agent monitoring and analyzed event scenarios in tracking a large release plume. which releases of chemical agents in CMA's weapons The committee finds that open- or folded-path FT-IR and disposal or storage facilities might motivate the development CIMS technology have some promise for providing enhanced, and adoption of new airborne agent monitoring technologies fast-response chemical agent monitoring capability to to supplement the CMA's existing agent monitoring systems.
