Public Health Relevance:
This Small Business Innovation Research project will address the need for a real-time, trace trichloroethylene vapor sensor to replace or supplement time-integrating sensors. Trichloroethylene, a toxic volatile organic compound, is a common soil contaminant at industrial toxic waste sites, and trichloroethylene vapor intrudes into buildings where it poses a health risk to the occupants. A real-time trichloroethylene sensor would enable mapping of the vapor concentration within a building to locate vapor intrusion points of ingress so that they may be sealed.
