ZERO-VOC is a 2 year R+D Project that is being funded by EU’s Seventh Framework Programme under “Research for SMEs” Strict limits have been set for volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions due to their direct and indirect effects on the environment and the potential risk to human health.
In environmental analysis, one of the most challenging and still unresolved needs is the reliable measurement of (VOC).
It is typical for many really harmful VOCs to be present at low concentrations and consequently the emission limits for these compounds are also very low.
ZERO-VOC project aims to develop an affordable and reliable tool for on-line monitoring of harmful and toxic VOC emissions, which will be applied for its use in several demanding gas measurements (VOC emissions). The ZERO-VOC system is based on utilizing novel cantilever sensor based PhotoAcoutic Spectroscopy (PAS) combined with Fourier TranssForm InfraRed (FTIR).
The ZERO-VOC consortium is composed by 7 industry partners and 3 RTD performers from 4 European Member States and Turkey.
