Next-Generation GED-ICP-MS High-Temporal-Resolution Atmospheric Trace Metal Monitoring Technology
Technology Introduction:
The "GED-ICP-MS real-time trace metal monitoring system" integrates a Gas Exchange Device with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry to deliver continuous five-minute monitoring of ten trace metals in airborne particulate matter, with detection limits down to 0.05 ng/m³. Field-validated in an urban environment, the system overcomes both the temporal lag of filter sampling and the sensitivity limit of XRF, offering a next-generation solution for urban air quality management.
Industrial Applications:
Aligned with 2050 net-zero policies, the technology addresses three pressing needs: non-exhaust emission management in the electric-vehicle era, real-time environmental enforcement, and exposure early warning for sensitive populations. It can be deployed in mobile monitoring vehicles, roadside stations in traffic hotspots, and alert systems near schools and hospitals, providing scientific evidence for regulatory enforcement and policy verification.
National Taiwan University
At present, the University consists of 16 colleges, 58 departments, 146 graduate institutes, as well as 34 Master's and PhD degree programs. NTU's programs cover a wide array of disciplines across science, arts, and the humanities, with up to 8,000 courses made available for selection each semester.
