Sulfur mustard (SM) is a vesicant chemical warfare agent. It is a cytotoxic and alkylating compound. Conventional methods of detection of chemical weapons based on chromogenic reactions are waste of time and low sensitivity. This paper presents new method to detect SM in aqueous environment. In the optimal conditions, SM was detected with low limit of detection (LOD), at about 150 ppb. Quantitative results with the help of UV - VIS equipment show that the linear response in the ranges of 150 - 5000 ppb with R2 = 0,9994. This method can be used to develop tests for detection of vesicant agent in the field.
