meter is equipped with an external, PC-supported data system. This allows not only automatic measuring procedures to be started and

monitored, but also detailed dia- gnoses and checks of the mass ectrometer system to be performed. Data system and mass

several hundred metres can be bridged. This results in high degree of flexibility in the sekc- tion of measuring and

evaluation sites in poorly accessible industrial plants. Although the mass spectrometer was optimised for the measurement of 0 cyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAHs) during development, problems still arise with less vohk PAHs.

Measurement of polycyclic aromatic compounds - Sub-project Photoelectric aerosol sensor for remote monitoring of pollutants Research centre: Gossen GmbH Naegelsbachstrasse 2,9 Erlangen Government sponsorship: DM 1,5,6 0 Sponsorship ratio: 5 Yo 1. Purpose of the project The overall objective of the project was the develo ment of experimental instruments for ghotoelectric aerosol sensor "PAS", to allow direct gtection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocar- ons (PAHs) on combustion aerosols from small to mediumsized furnaces and industrial processes. The simplest version of the sensor is to provide weighted aggregate signal of these pollutants,someofwhicharetoxicandcarcinogenic.Anefficientmeasuringandanal sis method can thus be made available for the introduction of mea
