This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I Project focuses on the development of a monitor for volatile organic compounds released during wood processing. A MEMS detector system that can continuously monitor pollutants during wood processing will be developed. The program proposed here will provide a real time continuous monitor with an overall significant cost reduction when compared to traditional monitoring methods. Plywood and composite wood products release major sources of hazardous air pollutants during processing, including, acetaldehyde, acrolein, formaldehyde, methanol, phenol, propionaldehyde and others. These pollutants are associated with a variety of adverse health effects including damage to nasal membranes, gastrointestinal irritation, irritation of eyes, throat, and mucous membranes, dizziness, headache, and nausea. The chemicapacitive sensor technology being developed has a broad relevance in the wood processing as well as a number of commercial applications. These sensors are ideal for monitoring a variety of chemical and physical targets in a distributed system where a premium is placed on early detection of problems.

小企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目的重点是开发木材加工过程中释放的挥发性有机化合物的监测仪。 将开发一种可以在木材加工过程中连续监测污染物的MEMS检测系统。这里提出的方案将提供一个真实的时间连续监测与整体显着降低成本相比，传统的监测方法。胶合板和复合木制品在加工过程中释放出危险空气污染物的主要来源，包括乙醛、丙烯醛、甲醛、甲醇、苯酚、丙醛等。这些污染物与各种不良健康影响有关，包括对鼻膜的损伤、胃肠道刺激、眼睛、喉咙和粘膜刺激、头晕、头痛和恶心。正在开发的化学电容传感器技术在木材加工以及许多商业应用中具有广泛的相关性。这些传感器非常适合在分布式系统中监测各种化学和物理目标，其中优先考虑早期发现问题。
