RJ Lee Group’s mobile lab, which includes an IONICON PTR-MS, has been deployed for volatile organic compound (VOC) monitoring.
RJ Lee Group’s mobile laboratory has been deployed to aid in assessing and monitoring organic contaminants that may occur in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Using an IONICON High-Sensitivity PTR-MS instrument, RJ Lee Group can support investigations associated with suspect odors, volatile toxic compounds and organic chemical releases to the environment.
RJ Lee Group’s scientists can then instantly analyse that data, translating it into the critical information that is needed by decision makers in government agencies, community organisations, and damage response organisations.
Providing measurements in the parts per trillion to parts per billion (ppt to ppb) range, the IONICON PTR-MS technology claims to be significantly more sensitive than conventional methods of organic analysis, especially in real time.
In addition, RJ Lee Group’s mobile laboratory can be brought on site and results can be interpreted in real time, eliminating the need for collecting many single-point samples, shipping those samples off-site, and waiting for analytical results.
The mobile laboratory can be deployed directly to sensitive areas where contamination, odors, and suspected damage exist and deliver real-time VOC monitoring data, including investigations into:
- Flooding into confined building spaces, tunnels, and storage locations
- Damaged chemical storage, transportation, and chemical use facilities or other areas of chemical and hazardous material release
- Hospitals, transportation hubs, stadiums, and other high-traffic areas where large-scale public exposure to VOCs is possible
