- Abstract
- [ONLY ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH] To judge the whole situation in case of damages or break-downs measurements of the amount of harmful substances are necessary. The measurement can be air-assessment as well as ground or water analysis. In publications processes and equipment to measure harmful substances are described. But fire fighting demands legitimately that the assessment not only works fast but also simply and correctly. For the assessment of harmful substances in case of fire operations it is also recommended to use test tubes, electrochemical sensors and additional test portion tubes (e.g. charcoal or silica tubes) with further laboratory analysis.
