Abstract:Mass
spectrometry in parallel with real-time machine learning techniques
were paired in a novel application to detect and identify chemically
specific, early indicators of fires and near-fire events involving
a set of selected materials: Mylar, Teflon, and poly(methyl methacrylate)
(PMMA). The volatile organic compounds emitted during the thermal
decomposition of each of the three materials were characterized using
a quadrupole mass spectrometer which scanned the 1–200 m/z range. CO2, CH3CHO, and C6H6 were the… Show more
