SummaryTable of Contents
Proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) is a specialist technique for detecting and identifying very small quantities amounts of organic gases in air. It is used mostly in atmospheric research, but also has applications in environmental science, pollution science, food science, and medical diagnosis. It is used as a monitoring system in various industries, e.g. measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by waste incineration plants.This book aims to provide a comprehensive account of the technique, and includes coverage of ...
