CWA review book by Douglas Parrish  3 Stars
October 05, 2004
The "Detection Technologies for CWAs and Toxic Vapors" is a good introductory book. The authors did a decent job of reviewing basic instrument technology. Personally, I was looking for an integrated sampling plan and specific equipment recommendations- the authors failed to address those areas. It also uses dated material- many of the documents referenced were 1997 Army tests, which have sometimes been superseded. At $125 for a small book, it's overpriced for the general market (first responders) and lacking in details for the specific chem warfare chemist market. It's a good introduction to testing methodology and reads like one of the SBCCOM/RDECOM testing manuals (that's because the authors work there).
