Abstract
The preliminary results of analysis of lewisite decomposition products in the atmosphere, using the method of subterahertz non-stationary spectroscopy are presented. Particular attention is paid to the retrieval of analytical absorption lines of lewisite and its decomposition products for real-time detection of their vapors in atmospheric air at a level below the maximum permissible concentration.
