The development of new highly sensitive detection techniques for particle bound polycyclic aromatic compounds (PP AH) on the nano-particles of traffic born soot open a new dimension for real time measuring techniques for air exchange rates in buildings in operation. The principles and first measurements are presented and demonstrate the principal applicability of this method.
