Advantages:
- Makes it possible to conduct accurate, near-real-time measurement of the elemental composition of aerosols in industrial and ambient atmospheres
- Corona field stabilizes the microwave plasma and results in repeatable plasma formation
- Larger size of CAMPS plasma provides sufficient plasma volume which can lead to complete ablation of deposited aerosol in the tip of the electrode
- Longer duration of CAMPS plasma (~10-50 ms) allows longer integration time which results in signal enhancement
Application:
Monitoring
(Public Health/Counterfeit Detection/Biological)
Applications:
- Elemental quantification of aerosols in near real-time
- Air pollution studies, Particulate Matter monitoring
- Hazardous materials exposure determinations and identification
- Biodefense, chemical-defense, homeland-security applications
- Environmental and occupational epidemiology
- Evaluation of engineering controls
