FIELD: explosives.
SUBSTANCE: detection is carried out by application of finely dispersed aerosol of indicator formulation onto investigated surface with subsequent visual detection of indicator effect. Indicator composition is prepared using alcohol solution of tetrabutyl ammonia hydroxide, having properties of surface-active substance that helps to increase sensitivity and specificity of detection. For storage, transportation and application of suggested indicator composition, aerosol device is used, being made of low and high density polyethylene mix. Aerosol device and indicator composition have considerable advantages compared to existing facilities for detection of explosives as simplicity of handling does not require special training of personnel.
EFFECT: low time of detection will make it possible to take appropriate protection measures.
