NOTES

1.	This may require portable sensors that add another aspect of complexity to the problem.
2.	Response times are commonly in the millisecond-to-second range for direct-reading sensors. Response times for separation-based systems are longer but can be less than 1 minute.
3.	Within a sensor system, the sensor element is frequently smaller than the supporting electronics.
4.	It is likely that a large fraction of chemical sensing needs will continue to be met by traditional analysis.
5.	International Convention on Prohibition of the Development, production, Stockpiling, and Use of Chemical Weapons, and on Their Destruction.
6.	Appendix F describes in more detail several chemical sensor platforms based on this technology.
