Industrial Monitoring
Many chemical and industrial processes cause emissions of VOCs
Some VOCs are toxic or even carcinogenic, posing a serious health hazard to workers
Existing methods for assessment of VOC exposure, however, have major limitations
Conventional GC instruments, although providing high specificity and sensitivity, are bulky and expensive to purchase, operate, and maintain, typically require offline sampling, and are thus not convenient or cost- effective for on-site monitoring applications
Currently, there is a critical unmet need for specific monitoring of VOC exposure in an autonomous and continuous manner
