Abstract:"The laser-based resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (REMPI-TOFMS) technique has been applied to the exhaust gas stream of a diesel generator to measure, in real time, concentration levels of aromatic air toxics. Volatile organic compounds, as well as several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were detected in the concentration range of 10-200 ppb in the steady-state diesel generator exhaust. The results were verified and compared with conventional extractive sampling and analytical techniques using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The high isomer selectivity of the REMPI-TOFMS instrument provided data for individual xylene isomers that are otherwise (partially) coeluting in standard GC/MS analyses. Good agreement was observed between results for volatile and semivolatile organic compounds obtained with REMPI-TOFMS and conventional extractive sampling. Transient events, such as cold start-ups of the diesel generator, resulted in sharp (less than 15 s) peak emissions that were, for benzene, up to a factor of 90 higher than the predominately constant concentrations observed during steady-state operation; warm restarts resulted in lower peak concentrations by a factor of 2.5. These fast transient emissions are only detectable using a real-time approach (1-s resolution) as demonstrated here using REMPI-TOFMS"
