Precursors are chemical compounds, or elements, that can be converted into an

In the case of explosives detection, each known
explosive compound has a signature spectrum of ion drift times, and therefore ion mobility values.

In addition to lead and a variety of solvents, training facilities release munitions constituents including perchlorate (a thyroid toxicant), RDX (an
