A comprehensive guide to using thermal desorption to study human health, atmospheric chemistry and chemical ecology

This 27-page e-book from Markes International describes how thermal desorption (TD) is being applied to advanced research in three areas relating to emissions of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) from living organisms – disease diagnosis using breath volatiles, the role of biogenic VOCs in the atmosphere, and studies into chemical ecology. With attractively-presented, informative examples including investigations into the effect of stress on breath VOC profiles, the ecological role of herbivore-induced plant volatiles, and odorous secretions from marsupials, this guide is a fascinating insight into how modern analytical chemistry is assisting cutting-edge research in laboratories around the world.
