“…Comparison of the homemade explosive erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) with its precursors was explored in a paper published by Bezemer, K et al Keying in on carbon and nitrogen they report that “… robust linear relationships between precursor and the end product were observed for these isotopes … that support the hypothesis that a given erythritol or nitrate precursor was used to synthesis a specific ETN batch.” [ 488 ].…”

“…Intrinsic markers are studied by using isotope ratios using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) or isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). IRMS has been used for instance when links between precursor and home-made explosives were investigated [43]. NMR analysis using carbon 13 isotope ratios has been used in a study of methylphosphonic dichloride (DC) [44].…”

respectively. All participating laboratories analysed the same samples prepared at the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI). The impurity profiles in nerve agent precursor metylphosphonyl dichloride samples were compared by a gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method using a retention index to facilitate data comparison. Retention indices of 16 CASs were calculated and compared, and this showed that the between-laboratory variation was low. This work is a first step towards a harmonised laboratory method for the profiling of CWA samples. The methods developed in this thesis will enhance accurate source attribution of CWAs and could potentially be used when alleged use of a CWA is being investigated.

“…O principal interesse de grupos terroristas pelo ETN se deve à acessibilidade ao precursor de síntese eritritol, comercialmente disponível como um adoçante de baixo valor calórico. Assim, foi considerado pelas autoridades de diversos países como explosivo caseiro para futuras ações terroristas (MANNER, PRESTON, et al, 2015;LEASE, KAY, et al, 2019;BEZEMER, MCLENNAN, et al, 2020b;FREYE, KINMAN, et al, 2020).…”
