Hazardous compounds are used extensively across various industrial sectors, requiring stringent safety precautions to protect both workers and the public. We demonstrate that PTR-TOF, mounted on a mobile platform, is a versatile tool for real-time detection of hazardous emissions at sub-ppb levels.
Most Toxic Industrial Compounds (TICs) have some degree of volatility and therefore can result in hazardous emissions that are easily transported through the air, posing additional risks for workers and the public. The toxicity of a compound directly correlates with its Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL), with more hazardous substances having lower OELs. For example, Trichloropropane (TCP) has an OEL of just 5 ppb, underscoring the need for highly sensitive detection methods.
