17 Conclusions The explosive trace detection application requires very sensitive equipment. Below of a few ppq for some explosives At these levels, there are atmospheric interferences in the signal that make discrimination really challenging The atmosphere contains up to 1 ppq of substances indistinguishable from actual explosives based on mobility, mass and fragment mass We have tried several estrategies to separate real explosive from atmospheric interferent Mobility deconvolution enables removal of most of these contaminants. Other strategies are usefull, but there are some resilient interfering signals that can t be separated from real explosives Everything seems to point that these most recalcitrant apparent false positives are in fact real explosive vapors produced in the atmosphere There are some mechanisms that could produce this molecules in the atmosphere at the concentrations analized, but the exact path is still being investigated Atmospheric aerosols 17
