Analysis of Spacecraft Air

The Toxicology Laboratory monitors airborne contaminants in spacecraft air.

Real-time in-flight analytical instruments include carbon dioxide (CO2 monitors), formaldehyde badges, and a compound specific analyzer for combustion products (CSA-CP).

Post-flight analyses are done on archival samples of spacecraft air obtained either at specific times and locations during a mission using "grab sample containers" (GSC) or accumulated throughout the mission on absorbent columns called solid sorbent air samplers (SSAS).
