Abstract:
1. A system for screening a target for the presence of one or more target substances comprising: a. a portable detection unit having: b. a support module having a vacuum source and a power source; and c. a conduit between the support module and the outlet which permits the movement of air from the portable detection unit to the vacuum source and the transmission of power from the power source to the portable detection unit to power the at least one chemical detection module, wherein, when the vacuum source is actuated and the portable detection unit is positioned proximate to the target, a sample of air is drawn from the air proximate to the portable detection unit through the inlet into the chemical detection module for analysis and detection of target substances in the sample of air, and wherein a target substance is detected by the portable detection unit when the metal detection module or the at least one chemical detection module detect the presence of the target substance in the sample of air.
