Real-Time Environmental Monitoring Solutions by Next-Gen SIFT-MS
Detect and analyze volatile environmental pollution at its source with speed and ease
Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) provides user-friendly solutions for environmental monitoring applications including ambient air measurement, fenceline monitoring, and mobile air quality measurement. It is a revolutionary direct mass spectrometric technology that delivers continuous, sensitive, selective, and robust analysis of diverse chemical species in air. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — such as benzene, ammonia, and formaldehyde — and inorganic gases such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are detected simultaneously and continuously in real-time. SIFT-MS is used by both worldwide governmental agencies and industrial manufacturing organizations to monitor emissions and detect environmental contamination events at their sources.
Real-Time Measurement of EPA Regulated HON Compounds and Environmental Pollutants Using SIFT-MS
This application note describes the determination of method detection limits (MDLs) for the newly regulated HON (Hazardous Organic NESHAP) compounds, which validate SIFT-MS as an effective solution for measuring these toxic VOCs and other environmental pollutants in ambient air, whether at the fenceline or in a mobile setting.
DownloadAdoption of SIFT-MS for VOC Pollution Monitoring in South Korea
This publication reviews VOC pollutant monitoring applications of SIFT-MS in South Korea. SIFT-MS has been applied to emission source characterization, fenceline monitoring, ambient monitoring, pollution mapping, and incident response (including the use of drone-based sampling) for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), odor nuisance species, and compounds that have high ozone formation potential (OFP) and/or contribute to secondary aerosol (SOA) formation.
DownloadReal-Time Monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds in Ambient Air Using Direct Injection Mass Spectrometry
In this article, the results of a DIMS air monitoring campaign in Auckland, New Zealand, are described. Real-time SIFT–MS measurements were obtained at three sites over a period of several weeks. At each site, SIFT–MS provided effective on-site analysis to sub-ppbV levels with better than 1-min time resolution.
DownloadContinuous, Selective and Robust Fenceline Monitoring by SIFT-MS
The selective, sensitive, rapid, and robust analysis provided by SIFT-MS makes it uniquely suited to outdoor air quality monitoring. SIFT-MS enables potential environmental incidents to be detected, identified, and remedied quickly, before they escalate to social or regulatory issues.
DownloadReal-Time Roadside Monitoring of Unreported VOC Emissions from Road Transport by SIFT-MS
This application note summarizes key SIFT-MS results presented in a peer reviewed article entitled “Unreported VOC Emissions from Road Transport Including from Electric Vehicles.” Learn how the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratory at the University of York used SIFT-MS for VOC analysis in its platform to experimentally verify that motor vehicle screen wash is a significant unreported source of VOC emissions (especially for ethanol and methanol).
DownloadHigh-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS
This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS, because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real-time.
