Data are presented for real-time atmospheric monitoring of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in air using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) technology. These measurements were made by one of the new generation of SIFT-MS instruments. Results are shown for five VOCs that were continually monitored from a stationary sampling point over a 4-day period: ethene, ethanol, 1,3-butadiene, benzene and toluene. All analytes except ethene in the study have at least two simultaneous and independent measures of concentration. These results demonstrate the great advances in SIFT-MS that have been made in recent years. 1,3-Butadiene is measured at a concentration of 9 pptv with a precision of 44%. For a 1-s integration time, a detection limit of 50 pptv is achieved. Instrument sensitivities are reported for all five analytes. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
