Evaluation of a Photoelectric Aerosol Sensor for Real-Time PAH Monitoring

摘要

In this study, the performance of a Gossen, GmbH Model PAS 1000i PhotoelectricAerosol Sensors (PAS) was evaluated for monitoring the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) on airborne find particles. The response of the PAS to PAH vapors and to airborne particles of various sizes were determined. Estimated levels of PAH provided by the PAS were compared to the concentrations of PAH sampled and measured traditionally.
