Summary
Recently, a solid-state sensor was developed which has remarkable selectivity for chlorinated organic vapors and sub-ppM sensitivity. DOE and TRI are currently developing an advanced chlorinated organic vapor monitor. Objective is to extend the analytical capabilities of this new sensing technology by designing and building an advanced instrument package. Specific instrument design goals include (1) a user-friendly, conveniently packaged instrument; (2) a broad dynamic range provided by intelligent sampler systems including, direct sampling, autodilution, and preconcentration; and (3) an analytical capability for condensed media with a specialized sampler. Field testing, of the advanced chlorinated organic vapor monitor demonstrated that the advanced instrument system is capable of providing, rapid, selective, on-site chemical analyses in a way not available by alternative techniques. Soil around 100N Bunker C area at DOE Hanford has trace contamination levels of chlorinated solvents, but is also heavily contaminated by oils which will show up on the OVM. The advanced chlorinated organic vapor monitor performed soil gas analysis on 5 soil gas probes in less than 30 minutes with vapor levels ranging between 0 and 2 ppM and without the interference from oil that would be present using, a photoionization detector. Area surveys were performed at Hanford by site personnel who received training, sessions lasting less than five minutes, demonstrating ease of instrument operation.
