What are the advantages of using this technology in addition to ACAMS and DAAMS?
For use at chemical weapons facilities, infrared technology would fill a void by providing prompt, accurate detection of chemical agents outside the facility. The benefits are huge: • Airborne chemicals can be completely identified. Think of the construction workers at the Umatilla, Oregon incinerator who in 1999 were overcome by a chemical plume that has yet to be identified. This type of system would take the guess work out of chemical identification, and help predict where a chemical plume may be headed — on the grounds of the depot or over the perimeter and into our communities. That is an important layer of protection for workers and community members. • Infrared technology can provide continuous “real-time” monitoring, meaning there is little or no delay in obtaining information about the emissions in the area. • Chemical agents can be quantified in “real-time” (around 15 seconds), thereby providing better response capabilities. • Workers at the facilities could respond to incid
