Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) represent a diverse class of small molecules generated by endogenous metabolism, cellular stress and microbial activity. Their presence in exhaled breath, headspace ...

Volatile compounds emitted by bacteria belong to a broad range of chemical classes such as alcohols, carbonyl compounds, hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, and sulfur and nitrogen-containing compounds, ...

Maintaining soil health is crucial for sustainable agriculture. Recently, soil volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have emerged as promising indicators for assessing soil health. A new study aimed to ...

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is a powerful platform for selective, real-time analysis of an extensive range of volatile compounds. SIFT-MS is particularly well-suited to mobile ...

A recent article explained the role of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) in the analytics laboratory. The current article focuses on reviewing the technology used for preparing volatile ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) enter the air from gasoline, pesticides, tobacco smoke, and thousands of other products and processes. They can increase the risk of airway problems and other health ...

Personal care products like deodorant and lotion contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that add fragrance or texture—and these can be emitted into the air. Now, research suggests that in densely ...
