The originally proposed project had one primary objective: TO develop a low cost integrated VOC measurement system, IMAS, that can detect, quantify, and report on chemical contaminants present in water, soil, and air in a minimally invasive manner. A two phase program was initially proposed. Phase 1 would investigate the critical performance and reliability limits of the technology, and Phase 2 would develop and demonstrate a fully integrated module in actual field conditions
