M9 paper is used to detect liquid chemical agents such as blister or nerve agents.
Chemical Agent Detector Paper, M9 is the most widely used method of detecting liquid chemical warfare agents, such as nerve or blister agents. M9 Paper reacts to chemical agents by turning a red or reddish brown color. It will not detect vapor.
G, H, and V chemical agents. G agents are nerve agents, and will cause the paper to turn any shade from yellow to gold. H agents are blister agents, and will cause the paper to turn any shade from pink to red. V agents are nerve agents, and will cause the paper to turn dark green. Decontaminating agents, and ammonia based cleaning products (such as window cleaners) can cause M8 paper to give false positive readings.
An example of active use of M8 paper would be a soldier using it to detect the presence of chemical agents in the field. The soldier would expose the M8 paper to the suspected chemical agent and observe any color changes on the paper to determine the presence of the chemical threat.
Yellow to gold is an indicated of chemical 'G' agents, which are nerve agents.
