Methodology: Gas Chromatography Application: Environmental Primary Focus: Application Title: Rapid Separations on a Portable GC with Resistively Heated Columns Keywords: Detection Environmental Environmental Analysis Gas Chromatography   Assignment Status: Assigned ORAL Session Title: Environmental Analysis: Pharmaceutical and Biologically Active Materials Session Date 03/14/2012 Starting Time: ( Slot # 7 ) CO-1671 A previous paper ( Pittcon 2011 # 180 - 20P  ) on fast GC focused on long (30M) capillary columns with a thick film (5u) programmed quickly over a short range from 50-75C. The analysis was much faster (>2x) as a result of the low thermal mass of the resistively heated column and resultant short cool down time. The detectors used were the photoionization detector (PID), the pulsed discharge detector (PDD) and the Far UV absorbance detector (FUV). The GC was a Model 312 portable GC. Much o

Methodology: Integrated Sensor Systems Application: Environmental Primary Focus: Application Title: Indoor Air Pollutant Monitoring in Classrooms & Laboratories (VOC’s, CO, CO2, and ventilation Rates) Keywords: Analysis Detector Electrochemistry Environmental/Air   Assignment Status: Assigned CO-662 Session Title: New Developments in Analytical Instrumentation and Software Session Date 03/11/2012 Starting Time: ( Slot # 25 ) 15 students present in the room and 4 adults Poor air quality in school classrooms is a serious problem now since school classrooms can have occupancy levels as high as 40 sq. ft per persons compared to average office occupancy of 140 sq. ft. per person. Other considerations include the number of portable classrooms being used on a semi-permanent basis.  Many of the urban schools are old, situated near industrial sites and have poor HVAC equipment. With class rooms that have individually controlled HVA

Authors: Jack Driscoll and Jennifer Maclachlan , PID Analyzers, LLC Methodology: Integrated Sensor Systems Application: Environmental Title: Inexpensive Wireless Sensor Package for PPB Monitoring of Photochemical Smog Components VOC'S, O3, NO2 and Sunlight    Keywords: Detection Electrochemistry Environmental/Air Portable Instruments   Assignment Status: Assigned CO-660 Session Title: New Developments in Analytical Instrumentation and Software Session Date 03/11/2012 Starting Time: Sunday Posters  Slot # 19 Fixed air pollution monitoring stations in the US have been established for several decades. These are large, very expensive  and difficult to move to new or temporary locations.  A portable analyzer was described last year ( Paper#  180-18P) that was compact and quite sensitive for VOC’s. As a result of comments, at the Conference, a new inexpensive  sensor package was designed and this will be discusse
