Abstract

This study involves the development of a new and simple analytical procedure based on a spectrochemical modification (SM) technique, namely fluorescence quenching (FQ) to monitor chemical agent simulants. The FQ technique is applied to evaluate permeation of these compounds through protective clothing materials.
