We are pleased to congratulate Dr. Dieter Rothbacher for the publication of his article “Real-time detection of residual HD contamination levels after decontamination with selected decontamination agents” in The European Physical Journal Plus (Volume 140, Article number 825, 2025).
This work, part of the Special Issue “Focus Point on CBRNE Events: Prevention, Mitigation, Consequences and Recovery”, provides innovative insights into the use of PTR-ToF-MS technology for the real-time detection of residual chemical warfare agent contamination following decontamination operations.
The study emphasizes the importance of advanced detection techniques in supporting civilian authorities to ensure safety after CBRN incidents, bridging the gap between NATO standards and real-world response capabilities.
We extend our warmest congratulations to Dr. Rothbacher for this important contribution to the CBRNe scientific community.
Guest Editors of the Special Issue: Andrea Malizia, Marco D’Arienzo, Gian Marco Contessa, Francesco d’Errico, Susana de Souza Lalic, Frank Duschek, Vasilis Vasiliou, Antony M. Hooker, Pasquale Gaudio.
