How are Airborne Toxicants Measured and Monitored?
The measurement and monitoring of airborne toxicants are essential for assessing air quality and protecting public health. This involves using various techniques and instruments to detect and quantify pollutants in the air. For example, gas chromatography is often used to analyze volatile organic compounds, whereas particulate matter can be measured using gravimetric methods. Governmental agencies set air quality standards and guidelines to regulate and limit exposure to harmful levels of toxicants.
