Estimation of the limit of detection of vapors of nitro-containing compounds in the atmosphere by laser fragmentation/laser-induced fluorescence method

The results of the study of the effect of background nitrogen dioxide on the limitation of the sensitivity of the LF/LIF method are presented. The calculated sensitivity values of the one-color LF/LIF method for the detection of nitrobenzene and nitrotoluene vapors in the presence of background nitrogen dioxide are presented.
