✦ Synopsis

Review

Utilisation of separation methods in the analysis of chemical warfare agents Chemical warfare agents and their degradation products represent a broad group of compounds with different chemical properties (polarity, volatility, thermostability, etc.). These chemicals often have to be detected and determined in complex matrices and therefore highly efficient separation techniques hyphenated to selective and sensitive detectors play an indispensable role. This review offers an overview of selected papers devoted to the title subject. It cannot be considered as a comprehensive literature compilation but should allow the reader to obtain an insight into the application of separation techniques in the important area of human protection and control of chemical weapons.

The analysis of the degradation products of chemical warfare (CW) agents has been a challenge to analysts. The low volatility of these compounds makes them unsuitable for direct gas chromatography analysis without prior derivatization. Lack of a chromophore causes difficulties with classic detection
