Abstract

In this presentation, we report on the high-sensitivity and high-selectivity measurement of HONO by off-beam quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) in a very small gas sample volume (of ~ 40 mm³) resulting in a ultrashort residence time of less than 10 ms (compared to ~ 7 min for a conventional 210 m multipass cell or ~ 10-min. integration time for currently used chemical analytical instruments). A minimum detection limit of 66 ppbv (1σ) HONO was achieved at 70 mbar using a laser output power of 50 mW and 1 s integration time. This MDL was down to 7 ppbv at the optimal integration time of 150 s.
