We describe three analytical procedures that can be used to distinguish naphthalene from the less toxic mothball component paradichlorobenzene. An initial presumptive identification can be made by noting the characteristic aroma of the two substances. This can be followed by one of the three analytical tests, each of which is simple to perform, gives an answer in seconds to minutes, and is definitive enough to eliminate the need for costly additional testing at an analytical reference laboratory. These tests have as additional advantages that the endpoints are dramatic and the reagents are commonly available.
我们描述了三种可用于区分萘与毒性较小的樟脑丸成分对二氯苯的分析方法。通过注意这两种物质的特征气味可进行初步的推定鉴定。接下来可以进行三种分析测试中的一种，每种测试操作简单，在几秒到几分钟内即可得出结果，并且确定性足以避免在分析参考实验室进行昂贵的额外测试。这些测试还有其他优点，即终点明显且试剂常见。
