Identifying Chemical Warfare Agents Through Analytical Chemistry

CNTR Fact Sheet by Carmen García López

The CNTR Fact Sheet by Carmen García López (CNTR/PRIF) provides an overview of the main analytical techniques used by the OPCW designated laboratories to analyze environmental and biological samples that could point to the presence of chemical warfare agents. In addition, the example of the sarin poisoning in Syria is used to show how chemical warfare agents can be detected in a real forensic case.
