Trace Chemical Sensing of Explosives\n\nRonald L. Woodfin (Edited by), RL Woodfin (Author)\n\n9780471738398, Wiley\n\nHardback, published 12 January 2007\n\n392 pages\n24.1 x 16.3 x 2.5 cm, 0.699 kg\n\nThis timely book covers the most recent developments in the chemical detection of explosives in a variety of environments. Beginning with a broad view of the need for and the potential applications of chemical sensing, the book considers the issue of how to effectively include chemical sensing into systems designed to find hidden explosives devices. Offering a firsthand look at the latest technologies direct from those who are actively developing them, the book features:\n--A look at the history of the field, including the contributions of recent programs \n--A brief explanation of the chemistry of various explosives and differences in the place where they may be detected \n--An introduction to the problems presented by trace element sensing \n--An overview and comparison of the techno]
