What Is a Volatile Organic Compound Detector?
Volatile organic compound (VOC) detectors, or VOC measurement instruments, measure the concentration of VOCs in gases. VOCs, which include over 200 types of compounds, are air pollution contributors, affecting photochemical oxidants and PM2.5 levels.
VOC measurement instruments use various methods, including flame ionization detection (FID) and non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption for regulated businesses, and the cost-effective photoionization detector (PID) method for voluntary measures.
