A CO2-laser photoacoustic detector is being developed that can detect the hazardous hydrazine-based rocket fuels and selected toxic industrial compounds at concentrations below 100 ppb in the ambient air. This paper reviews our work to develop this detector based on the principles of photoacoustic spectroscopy and classical acoustics. The low parts-per-billion level detection capability of the method to the hydrazines is demonstrated with both acoustically nonresonant and resonant photoacoustic cell designs. A flowing, resonant photoacoustic cell whose interior is coated with tetrafluoroethylene Teflon has been shown to be preferred for detecting highly adsorptive or reactive compounds. Photoacoustic spectroscopy has been demonstrated to be useful in measuring adsorption or reaction losses of low-concentration gases on surfaces.

Lead (Pb) is the most prevalent heavy metal pollutant in the natural environment. Pb is not a fundamental element for plants, but they absorb it when it is present in their environment, having no known physiological activity. The aim of our research was to evaluate the efficacy of laser photoacoustic spectroscopy as a tool to monitor changes induced by Pb in plant respiration by highlighting two molecular markers (C2H4 and CO2). To better understand Pb phytotoxicity, we monitored the plantlets evolution as well as the morphology of the root cells. Firstly, we showed that the treatment hinders the plantlet’s development. Furthermore, using laser photoacoustic spectroscopy, we found a decrease in the concentration of C2H4 and CO2 vapors measured in the respiration of treated plants. Finally, fluorescence microscopy results showed that in Pb treated plantlets, the cell roots morphology is clearly altered as compared with the untreated ones. All the results are well correlated and can help further in understanding Pb phytotoxicity.

Using a CO2 laser photoacoustic spectroscopy with intracavity setup and multicomponent method we have done measurement on the ammonia, ehtylene and acetone gas concentrations in the breath of liver disease patients and in the healthy volunteers. The results of multicomponent analysis show that the average concentration of ammonia gas obtained from the breath of liver disease patients and healthy volunteers are (3.27 ± 0.75) and (1.34 ± 0.24) ppm, respectively. The highest and the lowest ammonia gas concentration of liver disease patients are 4.77 and 1.99 ppm. While, the highest and the lowest ammonia gas concentration of healthy volunteers are 1.89 and 1.08 ppm. For the ethylene and acetone concentrations, we found no significant difference between the average concentrations in the liver disease patients and in the healthy volunteers.
