Experimental Determination of Chemical Solubility in Water Technical Notes

Body

The Chemical Security Analysis Center's (CSAC) Chemical Security Lab (CSL) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is measuring chemical and physical properties for compounds that are in the S&T Risk Assessments. The solubility of chemicals affects the dose that is delivered in the various attack scenarios in the risk assessments, and therefore accurate solubility values are important for the calculation of human health consequences.
