SRI International will develop a unique new instrument that will be capable of providing real-time, quantitative, chemical characterization of gaseous and particulate pollutants generated from DOE waste cleanup activities. The instrument will be capable of detecting and identifying volatile organic compounds, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and transuranic species released during waste cleanup activities. The instrument will be unique in its ability to detect and quantify in real-time these diverse pollutants in both vapor and particulate form. The function of the sampler is to obtain a sufficient and representative quantity of air pollutants from a wide range of waste cleanup activities, both vapor and particulate. In addition, the sampler must deliver the vapors and particles to the detection instrument with minimal material loss. |
