Air Analysis - Out Of The Laboratory & Into The Field
Analytical techniques for monitoring air pollutants have generated automated, real time data in the field for several decades. Recent developments, such as more robust and portable instrumentation, have enabled techniques once regarded as laboratory techniques to be used for field operations.

The well-attended one-day meeting, organised jointly with the Gas Analysis and Sensing Group, included presentations on the current state of techniques available or potentially available for automated use in the field, such as ion chromatography, mass spectrometry, FTIR, and tunable diode laser spectroscopy, applicable to workplace and ambient air analysis, and remote sensing of vehicle emissions. Requirements for measurements for regulatory purposes were also presented.
