摘要：BTEX compounds can cause a threat to environment and
human health. For this reason measurement devices are needed for rapid
identification of such pollutants. The paper presents the results of
recognition of mixtures of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes in
humid air by means of two gas sensor arrays and linear discriminant
analysis. Measurements were conducted during stabilization/solidification
processes of contaminated soils. High classification ratios were obtained
for both arrays (I: 88%–94%; II: 94%–96%). Improvement of
identification was achieved when two copies of every sensor were included
in analysis – classification rates reached 97.1–100%.
