Abstract

Toxic Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) pollutants have seriously affected public health. FAIMS is a quick and high sensitive gas-phase ion detection technique. In this paper, a FAIMS system has been built and various VOCs detections are performed to evaluate the suitability of the system´s separation effect. Finally, the relation between the waveform and the compensation voltage is discussed. The comparative experiments provide a useful reference for the subsequent optimization of toxic VOC pollutants detection with FAIMS.
