Abstract

Method was developed for detection of residual amounts of Russian toxic agent RVX on metallic surface. The method is based on RVX conversion into O-isobutyl ester of methylphosphonic acid fluoride on a filter impregnated with silver fluoride, followed by detection of the formed derivative using a flame photometer. The method sensitivity has been enhanced by application of a large volume injection (0.20 mL). The method allows determination of RVX levels corresponding to the sanitary regulations and is intended for control measures at the toxic agents elimination establishments and for determination of the Danger grade of metallic waste.
