A gas chromatographic method for the determination of phenylarsenic compounds (sternutators) and their metabolites in soil and material samples is described. The chemical warfare agents (CWA), but not their hydrolysis and oxidation products, can be detected with GC/ECD. After derivatization with thiols or dithiols, the sum of diphenylarsenic and phenylarsenic compounds can be determined with GC/ECD.
The comparison of the analytical results with and without derivatization shows | | Keywords: chemical warfare agents; CWA; derivatization; gas chromatography; phenylarsenic compounds; sternutators; analysis |
