Abstract

64 new cars are tested with two-stage thermal desorption-capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and 206 kinds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are qualitatively detected altogether, including toluene and m, p-xylene both with a detection rate of 100% and o-xylene with a detection rate of 96.9%. The results of quantitative analysis show that VOCs with the highest concentration are toluene and m, p-xylene. Both spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the pollutant diffusion process in the internal flow field of vehicle are also studied in the paper by using software FLUENT.
