When a hazardous materials response team, or first response team, arrives at the scene of an accident, there are many unknowns regarding its condition and first responders need to approach each event carefully.

When taking out soil investigation, the presence of VOCs which effect soil biota should be considered harmful in respect of their many wider benefits.

Soil sampling & analysis of VOCs requires careful sample retrieval handling. Most VOCs, it is often possible and advantageous to analyse a sample headspace.

Given the range of VOC’s in air and their variable harmfulness, it might seem preferable to monitor the more ubiquitous and harmful of them individually.

In most indoor environments, air contains common indoor air volatiles which are readily detectable by PID at a total VOC concentration of a few 10's ppb.

Commercial AQ Monitor Comparison, in this guide we out line the main advantages and disadvantages of the AQ VOC sensors under review; MOS, ETO & PID.

It's estimated that poor urban air quality accounts for 7million deaths per year. Unless poor air quality can be improved, death rates will continue to rise.
