Abstract

The practical benefits of real-time on-site analysis of toxic volatile organic pollutants are well established, and include increased sample throughput and decreased monitoring costs. The evaluation of emission control efforts, determination of human health risks, and confirmation of required reductions in those risks, all require ambient measurements of these pollutants. We have recently developed new monitoring technology for measuring trace volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air continuously in real time. The technology uses an ionization source as an efficient direct air sampling devic
