The control of air quality is a huge preoccupation to keep a safe environment. The BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene) volatile organic compounds constitute an important class of indoor air pollutants. Human exposure to these compounds can cause serious damages on human health due to their carcinogenic nature. In addition, toxic industrial chemicals (TIC) such as chlorine, ammonia, …, are potential pollution sources. Therefore, there is a strong interest to detect and quantify such pollutants either in indoor or outdoor environments
