Advanced Mass Spectrometer for Atmospheric Monitoring

Abstract

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 listed a wide variety of toxic and hazardous compounds whose emissions into the atmosphere needed to be monitored and reduced. At that time, there was no single instrument or measurement technique available to detect and quantify the concentrations of these species in the atmosphere. To meet the requirements of the CAAA, novel instrumentation for reliable and robust trace gas detection was required.
