Scope

Technical Committee 2.3 is concerned with the nature of trace gaseous contaminants; the measurement of their properties; their effects on living things and materials; the means of removing unwanted gaseous contaminants from gases; and the effectiveness, energy usage, and economy of such purification equipment.

For both ordinary and extraordinary situations (including hostile acts), TC 2.3 is concerned with the effects of gaseous contaminants on the quality of air supplied to and exhausted from enclosed spaces and with the sources of gaseous contaminant pollution within such spaces.

The TC scope covers all aspects of odor technology, including odors, which are produced by volatile particulate contaminants, but excludes purely physiological or psychological aspects of gaseous contaminants such as toxicology and odor perception.

TC 2.3 will encourage fundamental and basic research, and promote basic and continuing education and training.

TC 2.3 will promote effective communication to its constituency.
