摘要
Previous reviews have discussed in a qualitative manner the various highly sensitive analytical techniques for detecting minute traces of explosive material. However, there is no review available which compares quantitatively the sensitivities of the different analytical methods for detecting explosives. In view of the importance of this area to the present day planning of counter-terrorist strategies, this review makes a comprehensive and quantitative cornparison of the analytical chemical methods which can be used for the detection of trace explosives in the luggage and on the persons of travelers. Possible directions of future development in this area are also discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
