Monitoring exposure to polynuclear aromatic compounds via room temperature phosphorescence from solid substrates

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5431018
Room Temperature Phosphorescence (RTP) Spectroscopy is a relatively new solid state luminescence technique for monitoring polynuclear aromatic (PNA) compounds. The RTP technique can detect a variety of PNA pollutants at subnanogram levels. Practical applications include rapid and cost-effective screening of PNA species in complex samples and direct reading detection of airborne PNA compound collected on a new type of personnel vapor dosemeter.
