A process deploys detection devices in the carrier vehicles, collection facilities
and collection boxes to determine if hazardous materials have deposited. The system
is designed to provide detection, identification and measurement of chemical, biological
and DNA/RNA elements. When a hazardous material is detected, an alarm notifies
the worker. The system communicates with a central monitoring station that receives
vehicle ID, GPS positioning and identification of the hazardous material. A HAZMAT
team is then dispatched to the vehicle site. Systems that can benefit include carrier
vehicles, collection boxes, collection facilities, mail carriers, cargo carriers,
freight carriers, package delivery services, express delivery services, etc. The
carrier vehicles may include trucks, automobiles, aircraft and ships. The collection
boxes may include, containers, mail collection boxes, express delivery collection
boxes, etc. The collection facilities may include mail and package receiving centers,
