A prototype low-pressure assisted microwave plasma ionization mass spectrometry for on-line monitoring of organic and inorganic hazardous compounds simultaneously: Design and feasibility validation

To our knowledge, this is the first study to develop a low-pressure microwave plasma ionization source capable of simultaneously detecting organic and inorganic hazardous gases in real-time. Compared to conventional methods, LAMP-TOFMS demonstrates superior sensitivity, rapid response, and broader compound coverage. This innovative approach offers a transformative solution for comprehensive atmospheric monitoring, with significant implications for air quality and environmental health research.
