SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on detecting the THC molecule in room air, specifically exploring materials or chemical substances that exhibit visible changes when exposed to THC. While various THC detection kits exist for saliva testing, airborne detection remains challenging. The Mark I Mod 0 Nasal Atmospheric Delivery System and Olfactory Sampling Device, commonly referred to as the human nose, is frequently used for initial detection. Additionally, law enforcement utilizes specialized devices that can detect trace amounts of drugs in the air, often employing trained dogs for accurate detection.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of THC and its properties
  • Familiarity with airborne detection methods
  • Knowledge of drug detection technologies
  • Basic principles of olfactory detection
NEXT STEPS
  • Research airborne THC detection technologies
  • Explore the functionality of the Mark I Mod 0 Nasal Atmospheric Delivery System
  • Investigate the use of trained dogs in drug detection
  • Learn about the latest advancements in drug detection devices
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for law enforcement professionals, researchers in drug detection technologies, and individuals interested in the detection of airborne substances, particularly THC.

Is there a material or chemical substance that would have a visable change of any kind when exposed to THC? For example-something I can put in a room and detect if anyone is smoking pot in that area?

Welcome to the PF.

It looks like there are lots of test kits for saliva and so on:

But I'm not sure what the best way would be for airborne testing. Does the room have a central air heating/conditioning unit feeding it? If so, you might be able to test the particulates caught by the filter...
 
Most people use the Mark I Mod 0 Nasal Atmospheric Delivery System and Olfactory Sampling Device, or their nose.

The US border control and police have a device that can accurately detect trace amounts of drugs by sampling the air, and signals detection with a visible change. The device is a dog.
