Volatile Organic Compounds [PDF]

open access: possible, 2014
Detection and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are basic and necessary requirements for many applications, including environmental monitoring, occupational safety, and healthcare. Many toxic and/or carcinogenic VOCs are used as solvents and base raw materials in chemical process industries.

Biofiltration of volatile organic compounds

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2005
The removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from contaminated airstreams has become a major air pollution concern. Improvement of the biofiltration process commonly used for the removal of odorous compounds has led to a better control of key parameters, enabling the application of biofiltration to be extended also to the removal of VOCs. Moreover,

Microbial sensors for volatile compounds

Biochimie, 1980
A microbial sensor consisting of immobilized microorganisms, a gas permeable membrane, and an oxygen electrode was prepared for the continuous determination of methyl alcohol. Immobilized methyl alcohol utilizing bacteria was employed for the sensor. The response time of the sensor was within 10 min by the steady-state method. A linear relationship was

Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds

Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2009
Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) are a variety of compounds formed in the metabolism of fungi and bacteria. Of more than 200 compounds identified as MVOCs in laboratory experiments, none can be regarded as exclusively of microbial origin or as specific for certain microbial species. Thus, the recognition of microbially contaminated areas by
