However, when trace level determination is required, separation and preconcentration procedures are often used as a step before detection to avoid or reduce interferences and to increase sensitivity. Liquid-phase extraction (LPE) is one of the most well-known and applied pretreatment techniques associated with atomic spectrometry due to its simplicity, speed, and ease of automation. A review of methods involving LPE combined with XRF is presented. Methods described in the literature are discussed, involving conventional LPE and the three main categories of liquid-phase microextraction (LPME): single-drop microextraction (SDME), dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME), and hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME). Characteristics of the methods are presented, considering experimental aspects, analytical features, advantages, and disadvantages. In addition, trends in the association between LPME techniques and XRF are presented.","PeriodicalId":8100,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spectroscopy Reviews","volume":"102 1","pages":"610 - 628"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90327546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article provides a general background of the fundamentals of LSPR and RI-based LSPR sensing. Thereafter, recent advances in the improvement of LSPR sensitivity are discussed in the viewpoints of two experimental and mathematical approaches. The experimental approaches, including the fabrication of plasmonic array nanostructures with high uniformity and site-selective immobilization, are briefly discussed.

They are emitted from commercial products, building materials, furniture, occupant activities and even occupants, etc., and can participate in the indoor chemistry reacting with oxidants or being formed from secondary reactions. Some VOCs are classified as carcinogens and are associated with a variety of health effects. Characterizing and quantifying the VOCs in the indoor environments is of paramount importance in order to implement preventive measures to minimize the human exposure. A correct assessment of human exposure or characterization of emission sources and indoor activities requires appropriate and efficient methods for sampling and analysis. Therefore, this review focuses on the different methodologies for monitoring VOC that must be selected when a sampling plan is designed considering the objective of the measure. Selecting the most suitable procedures for assessing VOCs requires proper knowledge on the existing standards and off-line (including the selection of the sorbent media) and online instrumentation. Knowing the advantages and drawbacks of the different techniques available can help to plan future studies.","PeriodicalId":8100,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spectroscopy Reviews","volume":"110 1","pages":"625 - 674"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89292604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These include mold growth and other microbial pollutants in humid air, to the chemical pollutants that result from emissions from human activities such as cooking, cleaning, smoking and home refurbishments. In fact, the concentrations of many air pollutants can be higher indoors than out, particularly following activities such as cleaning and cooking. Despite these facts, regulation for air pollution focuses mainly on outdoors and the indoor environment is much less well characterized or indeed regulated. With increasing climate change impacts expected in the future, related energy efficiency measures are making buildings considerably more airtight leading to the potential for even higher indoor air pollutant concentrations. Therefore, to reduce our exposure to air pollution, we must consider air pollutant sources and sinks in both the indoor and outdoor environments. We also need to consider the role of ventilation in mixing air between the two, in order to mitigate through appropriate building operation, use and design. Cost Action 17136 INDAIRPOLLNET (INDoor AIR POLLution NETwork) aims to improve our understanding of the cause of high concentrations of indoor air pollutants. It assembles experts in chemistry, biology, standardization, particulate matter characterization, toxicology, exposure assessment, building materials (including green materials), building physics and engineering and building design, performing laboratory and chamber experiments, modeling studies and measurements of relevance to indoor air quality, including outdoor air chemists. This Action is significantly advancing the field of indoor air pollution science, and highlighting future research areas, as well as aiming to to bridge the gap between research and business. In this way, we will be able to identify appropriate mitigation strategies that optimize indoor air quality. One of the objectives of our Action has been to explore the best ways to measure key indoor air pollutants given specific requirements (research question, available funds, building location and characteristics etc.). This special issue therefore summarizes the various measurement techniques that are currently available for indoor air measurements and the advantages and disadvantages of each for the indoor environment.

Nonsampling Raman measurement is a relatively simple technique that avoids damaging or contaminating a sample’s commercial value by opening the container. The most demanding aspect of such techniques is the need to minimize or eliminate spectral interference from the container when analyzing the housed samples. To reduce the spectral peaks associated with the container, which can be either fluorescent or nonfluorescent, various measurement configurations, including spatially offset Raman scattering and/or algorithm-based background subtractions, have been employed. Here, reports on the former technique are categorized according to their analytical purposes into qualitative chemical identification and quantitative determination of component concentrations of housed samples. Studies in each group are further classified by container material, either glass or polymer (plastic), as the optical properties of each, as well as the dominance of their Raman spectral peaks, are different. Prospects for advances and unresolved issues in through-container Raman measurement are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":8100,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spectroscopy Reviews","volume":"22 1","pages":"509 - 524"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81829046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
