A review of advances in the detection of sulfur mustard based fluorescence

Abstract Sulfur mustard is a vesicant through alkylating that have a garlic-like odor. As extreme toxicity, there has an increased demand to develop effective systems for the detection of sulfur mustard. This review described the research progress of chemical sensors based on fluorophore for the detection of sulfur mustard and its mimic. Focusing on current developments in fluorescence approaches has been used for detection of sulfur mustard, especially approach offers rapid, low limitation, low-cost, real-time and on-site visual detection capability.
