Research abstract
ChemMotif has developed several new colorimetric vapor sensors. These will be tested as end-of-service-life indicators for carbon-filter gas-masks in Chemical Biological Defense applications.Modification of the ChemMotif sensors will be done to demonstrate their potential to meet the ESLI requirements.These sensors will permit safer and more cost-effective use of gas-mask carbon filters.Low-cost End-of-Life Service Indicators for chemical protective gear will provide assurance to chemical emergency response teams, including firefighters, law enforcementpersonnel, industrial workers, and environmental remediation personnel that their protective clothing is in working order on removal from storage and during use. This technology may also be applicable to organic vappor detection in industrial andenvironmental applications such as waste site assessment.
