Chemical warfare agent decontamination is a key step toward eliminating or reducing the impact of these compounds on people. Modern decontamination substances include solid decontamination (degradation) sorbents that degrade harmful chemicals. The study's goal was to devise a method for tracking the breakdown of chemical warfare agents using these sorbents. FTIR spectroscopy with the ATR approach was used to monitor the degradation of soman, VX, and sulphur mustard (chemical warfare agents). Bonds in the material molecule that disintegrated and the positions of the absorbance bands that related to the vibration of that bond were discovered during the development and validation of the procedure. On the basis of this research, a procedure for evaluating the degrading effectiveness of sorbents on chemical warfare agents was developed. The time dependency of the distributed CWA ratio, as well as the reaction time necessary to breakdown 50 and 90% of the initial amount of the chemical, are graphically presented as the results of the measurements.
