1 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. Gas Chromatography Solutions for Homeland Security

2 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. 5 key concerns of Homeland Security The Government sponsored Homeland Security is facing 5 key concerns. Terrorist ThreatsMaritime ports vulnerabilityAirport Security Public Buildings SecuritySecurity in Public Transportation Facilities

3 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. The Need of the Hour! A sensor technology that can quickly adapt and recognize conventional and non-conventional threats.

4 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. Introducing… Electronic Sensor Technology’s patented gas chromatographer zNose ®

5 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. Detects the unique chemical fingerprint or olfactory signature of any odor, fragrance, or vapor It can also create an unlimited number of virtual chemical sensors Can be adaptively trained to recognize the chemical profile of almost any terrorist threat 3 ways in which EST zNose® can help

6 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. 4 Use-Cases for EST zNose® Screening of Cargo Containers Monitoring Ambient Air in the Government Buildings Monitoring Ambient Air in Subways Profiling Ambient Air in Commercial Airlines

7 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. 100+ cargo ports in US 6 million+ cargo containers arrive at US ports every year Only 2% of containers were screened for threats before 9/11 Only 4% of containers are now screened post 9/11 So, it’s not a major improvement in the present dangerous situations, yet testing every container remains an elusive goal. Screening of Cargo Containers

8 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. Presence of odoriferous chemicals such as trichlorophenol and trichloroanisole, which can damage or taint sensitive cargo Virtual sensor arrays and recognizable olfactory images can be used to detect and identify explosives, hazardous substances, drugs of abuse A cost effective and easy to use screening tool for shippers and inspectors alike Container security protocols specific odor profiles can also be attached to an electronic manifest file and forwarded to authorities Important note : The containers can be inspected through ventilation ports without having to open the containers, before the ship docks at the port. 5 ways in which EST zNose® can help

9 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. A key challenge for Homeland security is eliminating key vulnerabilities in public buildings 3 ways in which EST zNose® can help – Monitor the ambient air within buildings Recognize known vapor threats, such as Nerve, blood or vomiting agents and detect suspicious odors, which are not part of the buildings normal vapor signature By monitoring the air chemistry within buildings and comparing it with the building’s normal background signature, new or suspicious vapors can be quickly identified and investigated. Monitoring Ambient Air in the Government Buildings

10 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. 800+ miles of US light Rail Network 1000+ stations in the US light Rail network 2800 million+ Daily Ridership on US Light Rail Transit With most of the system underground it is vulnerable to Chemical attacks by Terrorists Monitoring Ambient Air in Subways

11 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. Eliminate vulnerabilities in closed spaces such as subways Air samples from the Metro can be sampled and their chemical profile fingerprinted using Vaporprint imaging technique Monitoring the air chemistry within the subway and comparing it with the normal background signature 3 ways in which EST zNose® can help -

12 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. Homeland security faces 3 key challenges in maintaining the security levels of the most vital Transportation System in the US – Commercial airlines. Aircraft security is paramount for Homeland security after 9/11 Exposure to a wide range of volatile organic compounds Each aircraft produces a distinctive olfactory signature Profiling Ambient Air in Commercial Airlines

13 www.estcal.com Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. Chemical profile fingerprinted using the zNose® to produce a Vaporprint image Indexing and entering identified compounds into a database of known odors Comparing them with airplane’s normal vapor signature 3 ways in which EST zNose® helps
