Description

The M272 Chemical Agents Water Testing Kit comprises ampoules filled with reagents connected to a handheld card. By crushing the ampoules, responders release liquid reagents that flow through tubes to three distinctively shaped test spots. These spots react upon contact with the air, displaying a color change indicative of any present chemical agents

M272 Chemical Agent Water Testing Kit

If no agent is present, there is no reaction, serving as an indicator of the absence of chemical agents in the air. Different shapes represent specific agents: a color change in the square indicates blister agents, the circular spot detects blood agents, and the star-shaped field signals nerve agents. The kit works without needing directional pointing or close proximity for effective detection

What Is In A Water Testing Kit:

  • Cyanide (AC, CK, NaCN, and KCN) – Cyanide is a highly lethal chemical that rapidly kills cells by inhibiting oxygen utilization.
  • Lewisite (C2H2AsCl3) – Lewisite is an extremely toxic blister agent containing arsenic, causing lung and systemic effects. It emits a geranium-like odor. Although developed as a potential chemical warfare agent (military designation, L), it has not been deployed on the battlefield.
  • Mustard (H, HD, HN, and HT) – Mustard is a chemical warfare agent inflicting blistering on the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It also damages bone marrow DNA, resulting in decreased blood cell production.
  • Nerve agents (V- and G- types) – Also known as nerve gases, these organic chemicals disrupt nerve-to-organ messaging mechanisms. Phosgene Oxime (CX) – Phosgene Oxime is a chemical warfare agent inducing intense pain upon exposure, leading to skin tissue death.
