Vehicle Interior Air Quality Analysis – Analyzing that “New Car Smell”

The health impacts of the “new car smell” in the vehicle interior have led several countries to impose limits on the concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from newly manufactured vehicles.

Testing the vehicle interior air quality can be challenging – and Quantum Analytics is here to help. We offer turn-key application support, cross-platform system integration, installation, training & service for Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) analysis based on Thermal Desorption.

Using thermal desorption in conjunction with GC/MS can analyze potentially harmful volatile organic compounds (VOC) in vehicle interior air. By coupling Markes’ UNITY-xr and TD100-xr thermal desorbers and related sampling methods, analysts determine and quantify the compounds affecting VIAQ.
