Rapid, sensitive and selective fluorescence sensing device for the determination of the nerve agents Sarin, Soman and Tabun in the gas phase

  • The organophosphate nerve agents Tabun (GA), Sarin (GB) and Soman (GD) are among the most toxic chemical warfare agents (CWA) known, and exert their biological effects by irreversibly inhibiting acetylcholinesterase enzymes of the human nerve system. The use of these agents in the past century has killed millions of civilians around the world during World Wars I and II, and after that, approximately 40.000 tons of chemical ammunition were dumped into the Baltic Sea, containing ca. 13.000 tons of chemical warfare agents. Since their production, almost all the nations of the world have been strictly avoiding the development and use of CWA, participating in active destruction of CWA stockpiles, especially since the Chemical Weapon Convention (CWC) of 1993. However, CWA have been used in offensive ways against civilian population by terrorists, as for instance in the fatal Tokyo subway terror incident of 1995 or, most recently, against antigovernment demonstrators in Syria in 2013.

The use of these agents in the past century has killed millions of civilians around the world during World Wars I and II, and after that, approximately 40.000 tons of chemical ammunition were dumped into the Baltic Sea, containing ca. 13.000 tons of chemical warfare agents.

However, CWA have been used in offensive ways against civilian population by terrorists, as for instance in the fatal Tokyo subway terror incident of 1995 or, most recently, against antigovernment demonstrators in Syria in 2013. Due to their higher toxicity and continuous use, it is therefore very important to develop simple and fast detection methods relying on new nerve agent sensing modalities for use in control and inspection. A practically useful fluorescent probe must possess a rapid response and high sensitivity, and shall be implementable into easy-to-use devices for real time detection by untrained personnel. Taking into account this fact, in this work we have synthesized several mesoporous silica materials containing boron–dipyrromethene (BODIPY) moieties for the detection of nerve agents GA, GB and GD in the gas phase. Development of our system indicated that the most potent materials are able to respond to the presence of nerve agent simulants diethyl cyanophosphonate, diethyl chlorophosphate and diisopropyl fluorophosphate, which have to be used in a laboratory setting, yet also for the real nerve agents Sarin, Soman and Tabun, producing a strong quenching of the fluorescence. Furthermore, a portable device for the detection of GA, GB and GD in the gas phase has been prepared for in situ sensing and rapid screening applications, consisting of strips that are able to indicate the targets down to below 1 mgm-3 which is below the LD50 values.zeige mehrzeige weniger
