Sensitive : Several monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, for example p ‐, m ‐, o ‐xylene, toluene, and benzene ( 1–5 ), were detected in a single measurement by using a planar infrared attenuated total reflection (IR‐ATR) fiberoptic sensor that was coated with ethylene/propylene copolymer. Compared to conventional IR sensing systems, this device exhibits a large dynamic detection range.
