Chemical disasters from industrial accidents or sabotage require swift, precise responses. This study examines the effectiveness of integrating gas detection equipment, particularly Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS), in enhancing preparedness and early response. Through a review of technical literature and device specifications, it found that IMS-based portable tools significantly improve real-time detection of toxic gases, aiding in rapid source identification, personnel safety, and tactical decision-making. The study highlights the importance of equipment standardization, specialized personnel training, and incorporating detection systems into national chemical disaster response protocols to strengthen operational readiness and response efficiency.
