Explosive Detection Technologies; Widely Used to Detect or Identify Explosive Materials

Image
  Explosive detection technologies are used for destructive identification of explosive materials at airports, ports, railway stations, and border control. Various types of explosive detection technologies are used to detect explosive, such as Electromagnetic, Infrared, X-ray, and Others. Colorimetric test kits are used for destructive identification of explosive materials, as it is one of the simplest, established, and most widely used methods for the detection of explosives. The various techniques used by explosive detection experts are based on the specific threat that the device poses to public safety and security. Explosive detection equipment are of two types, such as bulk detection and trace detection. Ion mobility spectrometry is commonly used to detect signatures of explosive materials, especially at the United States airports. Moreover, gas chromatography (GC) is used to detect, in order to separate molecules before detection. Explosive detection technology finds its applic
