Sarin simulants show limited representativeness

Abstract

In this study, we conducted colorimetric gas-phase tests on real sarin and compared the results with the most commonly used simulants under identical test conditions. Our findings indicated that reactivity extrapolation was not a reliable approach and that validation using the real toxic gas remained essential for a fair assessment of sarin sensors.
