How do you collect air samples outside the van?

We collect an air sample outside the van by mixing it with a reagent gas selected for reactivity to a given compound, which enables us to quantify the molecules in the sample.

What is the purpose of mixing the sample with a reagent gas selected for reactivity to a given compound?

The purpose of mixing the air sample with a reagent gas selected for reactivity to a given compound is to enable the separation of molecules by mass and quantity in an ionization chamber, allowing for quantitation of the compound's concentration in the sample.

How do you separate molecules by mass and quantity in an ionization chamber?

Molecules are separated by mass and quantity in an ionization chamber through the process of mass spectrometry, where molecules are ionized and then separated based on their mass-to-charge ratio. This is achieved through the use of a quadrupole or other types of mass filters, which selectively allow ions with specific masses to pass through while rejecting others, ultimately enabling quantitation of the number of molecules in the sample.

Can you pinpoint the source of compound concentrations using GPS and MET data?

By leveraging GPS and MET data, we can map out compound concentrations to pinpoint the source of odor emissions. This is made possible through the integration of meteorological data with geographic positioning information, enabling us to identify and track the origin of specific compounds in the air sample.
