GAWTEC & YESS Webinar Series Reactive Gases: Detlev Helmig - Monitoring of Atmospheric VOCs

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) occur in the atmosphere at low to sub parts per billion mole fractions. This poses enormous challenges for their measurement and quantification. A variety of measurement approaches building on different principles have been developed that allow for the selective monitoring of VOCs at these low concentrations. This presentation will provide an overview of VOCs measurement approaches, their technical realization for monitoring methods, and examples of common applications.
