The evaporation of sulfur mustard (HD) from glass was studied as a function of temperature, drop size, and airflow rate. The evaporation rate was measured by collecting the HD vapor using thermal desorption tubes that were connected to the wind tunnel. The evaporation rate increased with higher temperature, drop size, and wind speed. Five different wind tunnels were used, and it was possible to fit all of the data generated ...
The environmental fate of chemical warfare agents on targeted surfaces is important in modeling vapor and contact hazard for decisions influencing safety of personnel in contaminated areas. Several laboratory wind tunnels are under development and include microbalance, vapor sampled, and contact angle wind tunnels. A wide spectrum of methodology development is required to control and measure physical parameters and analyze mass distribution. The methodology developed to date will be described ...
