Contributors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, based at The Hague, and from other organizations and universities, explain how to verify international compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention in principle, using analytical chemistry and related strategies and methods. The Organization has designated 18 analytical laboratories around the world as capable of analyzing samples of chemicals used in chemical weapons, and most of the chapters here describe the analytical methods used in them to identify target chemicals from environmental and human origin samples. They also discuss the procedures and strategies for on-site sampling, for example during the inspection of facilities, and either analyzing substances on-site or sending them to other sites for analysis.
