Portable Instrument for Monitoring Environmental Toxins Using Immobilized Quantum Dots as the Sensing Material

A portable instrumental system was designed for the routine environmental monitoring of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in atmospheric conditions based on changes in the photoluminescence emission of semiconductor nanoparticles (quantum dots) entrapped in a sol-gel matrix as the solid sensin...
