“…In the early age, the use of a LIF instrument alone or combined with other optical measurement tools were applied to direct monitoring of gaseous pollutants, such as CO 2 , NO, NO 2 , N 2 O 5 , SO 2 , aerosol particle and aromatic hydrocarbons (Bessler et al, 2003;Miyazaki et al, 2008; Suzuki et al Matsumoto et al, 2005;Matsumi et al, 2005;Taketani et al, 2013;Sirignano et al, 2012). The successful application of LIF spectroscopy has expanded to the detection of chemicals in water, soil organic matter, solid organic waste, crude oil and soil contaminants (Uebel et al, 1996;Martins et al, 2011;Muller et al, 2011;Hegazi et al, 2005;Lemke et al, 2005). Based on fluorescence properties of aromatic hydrocarbons, LIF is considered as a non-destructive and fast detection tool of PAHs even at very low concentrations.…”
