Determination of acrolein in ambient air and in the atmosphere of environmental test chambers

Abstract

Acrolein (2-propenal) is a reactive substance undergoing multiple reaction pathways and an airborne pollutant with known corrosive, toxic and hazardous effects to the environment and to human health. So far,...

Acetaldehyde in the indoor environment

“…76 Acrolein cannot be reliably analyzed by the DNPH method. 77 DNPH is also suitable for passive sampling. The collection rates for acetaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds were determined by Birmili et al 78…”

Comparison of Volatile Organic Compound Concentrations in Ambient Air among Different Source Areas around Khon Kaen, Thailand

“…A limitation to this study is the challenges associated with the analytical methods for VOCs. Acrolein is particularly difficult to quantify analytically due to its extremely high volatility [59]. Therefore, the results should be confirmed with additional analytical methods, such as proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry or derivatization with other compounds.…”
