Measurements of volatile organic compounds in the earth's atmosphere using proton‐transfer‐reaction mass spectrometry

de Gouw, Joost, Warneke, Carsten·2007·Mass Spectrometry Reviews

Abstract

Proton‐transfer‐reaction mass spectrometry (PTR‐MS) allows real‐time measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air with a high sensitivity and a fast time response. The use of PTR‐MS in atmospheric research has expanded rapidly in recent years, and much has been learned about the instrument response and specificity of the technique in the analysis of air from different regions of the atmosphere. This paper aims to review the progress that has been made. The theory of operation is described and allows the response of the instrument to be described for different operating conditions. More accurate determinations of the instrument response involve calibrations using standard mixtures, and some results are shown. Much has been learned about the specificity of PTR‐MS from inter‐comparison studies as well the coupling of PTR‐MS with a gas chromatographic interface. The literature on this issue is reviewed and summarized for many VOCs of atmospheric interest. Some highlights of airborne measurements by PTR‐MS are presented, including the results obtained in fresh and aged forest‐fire and urban plumes. Finally, the recent work that is focused on improving the technique is discussed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Mass Spec Rev 26:223–257, 2007

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
