The Mobile Sift-Ms Laboratory
April 8, 2025
Tracing volatile pollutants back to their emission source can be difficult in industrial parks. By utilizing a combination of fenceline monitoring with a mobile laboratory equipped with selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) instrumentation together with drone sampling, individual emission sources can be sampled and analyzed rapidly on site. Using an example from the Republic of Korea (South Korea), this application note illustrates the effectiveness of onsite broad-spectrum, high-specificity SIFT-MS analysis combined with drone sampling in the identification of pollution sources.
