Combined chemical and optical methods for monitoring the early decay stages of surrogate human models
(2011)As the body decays shortly after death, a variety of gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) constantly emanate. Ethical and practical reasons limit the use of human corpses in controlled, time-dependent, intervening ...

Effects of sol-gel synthesis on 5Fe-15Mn-40Zn-40Ti-O mixed oxide structure and its H2S removal efficiency from industrial gas streams
(2009)A novel Fe-Mn-Zn-Ti-O mixed metal oxide has been developed for efficient low-temperature (25-50°C) removal of H2S from a gas mixture containing 600 ppm H2S, 25 vol% H2, 7.5 vol % CO 2, and 1-3 vol% H2O that simulates typical ...

Environmental aspects of VOCs evolved in the early stages of human decomposition
(2007)In the present study, the time profile, measured as "accumulation", of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced during the early stages of human decomposition was investigated. A human cadaver was placed in a sealed bag ...

Trace detection of endogenous human volatile organic compounds for search, rescue and emergency applications
(2015)Since Pauling's paper in the 1970s, interest has increased in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from different bio-fluids, such as blood and urine. A number of VOCs reflect internal biochemical pathways occurring ...
