Detecting Environmental Pollutants With A Smaller, Portable, Fully Electric Gas Chromatograph

Prof. Yogesh Gianchandani and Dr. Yutao Qin designed a fully electronic micro gas chromatography system to improve the detection and monitoring of indoor air pollutants.

All the components in Gianchandani and Qin’s fully electronic micro gas chromatography system are lithographically microfabricated, making it easier to manufacture. The system detects and analyzes minute concentrations of several common volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contribute to indoor air pollution. VOCs can be serious health hazards, and some, such as benzene, are known carcinogens.
