Abstract

A simple real-time measurement system for the components of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in automobile exhaust gas using a laser ionization method was developed. In this method, many kinds of VOCs and PAHs were observed simultaneously, and real-time changes of their concentration were obtained at 1 second intervals. As a test measurement, exhaust gas from a motorcycle was monitored in real-time, and real-time concentration changes of many kinds of hydrocarbons like toluene(92), xylene(106), trimethylbenzene (120), naphthalene(128), etc., were observed. Using this method, real-time assessment exhaust gas can be developed.
