Abstract

We report on the development of Quartz-Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (QEPAS) technology to detect 8 different air pollutants, namely CH4, NO2, CO2, N2O, CO, NO, SO2 and NH3, with the same acoustic detection module and interchangeable laser sources, to prove the modularity of the technique as well as the adaptability to different lasers. For each gas species, the fine structure of the infrared absorption bands has been simulated by using HITRAN database. Each gas species was detected with an ultimate detection limit well below their typical natural abundance in air even with a signal integration time as low as 0.1 s.
