The optical emission spectroscopy (OES) from atmospheric pressure microwave (MW) plasma was proposed for detection of trace toxic agents, such as phosphorus and chlorine. Characteristic OES of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), malathion and chloroform, as simulant of phosphorus and chlorine toxics, was analyzed and identified. The characteristic OES of DMMP included P atomic lines (213.62 and 214.91 nm), PO radical bands (254.04 and 255.50 nm), and C atomic line (247.86 nm). The characteristic OES of malathion was the same as that of DMMP, but their relative intensity was different, which could be used to discriminate the two chemicals. The characteristic OES of chloroform included Cl atoms (725.66, 754.71, 837.59, 858.60 and 894.81 nm, etc). By taking the characteristic OES of DMMP as an example, the OES intensity had a linear relationship with the MW power within the range of 40-110 W. As for the impact of OES collection region, OES intensity of the object to be detected at the head of the MW plasma was the highest, and those at the middle and tail were reduced in turn. With a MW power of 70 W and collection region from plasma head, the detection limit of DMMP, malathion and chloroform were 0.05, 3.3 and 1.8 mg/m³, respectively. This work presented an atomic/molecular OES detection method using MW plasma and proposed that the relative OES intensity strategy could be used to discriminate chemicals with same characteristic OES, which provided a technical reference for detection of trace toxic agents.
