Summary:

Introduction to deployable, compact, self-powered gas analyzers using tiny, solid state-based gas sensors combined with a compact gas chromatography column. Gas analyzers can be deployed in the field and linked by GPS to form a network for air quality monitoring and for detection of a wide range of gases, including toxic, hazardous, and harmful gases, including complex gas mixtures, such as in petrochemicals buried methane gas lines, and oil-based electric power transformers.
