Abstract
A method for analyzing molecular pollutants of a fluid. From a calibrated flow of fluid, a combination of a measurement of a total amount of molecular pollutants and a determination of chemical compositions and relative amounts of the molecular pollutants by adsorption on materials is carried out. The determination of the chemical compositions and relative amounts advantageously occur after a threshold value for the total measured amount is exceeded.

A method for analyzing molecular pollution of a fluid, comprising:
- a) producing a calibrated flow of the fluid;
- b) filtering the fluid with calibrated flow to retain particulate and nanoparticulate pollutants;
- c) measuring in real time a total amount of molecular pollutants present in the fluid with calibrated flow and downstream from the filtering;
- and
- d) determining chemical compositions and a relative amount of molecular pollutants adsorbed in at least one sample made in adsorbent material(s) placed on a circuit of the fluid with calibrated flow downstream from the measuring the total amount, the determining taking place simultaneously and/or at predetermined time intervals relatively to an instant when a threshold value of a total amount of molecular pollutants present in the fluid with calibrated flow and measured in real time is exceeded.
A device for analyzing molecular pollution of a fluid present in an environment, comprising:
- means for calibrating flow of the fluid;
- means for particle filtration of the fluid with calibrated flow to retain particulate pollutants;
- means for measuring in real time a total amount of the molecular pollutants present in the fluid with calibrated flow, the measurement means being laid out on a circuit of the fluid with calibrated flow downstream from the means for filtration;
- alarm means for when the total amount of the non-particulate pollutants present in the fluid with calibrated flow is in excess;
- at least one sample made in adsorbent material(s) placed on the circuit of the fluid with calibrated flow downstream from the measurement of the total amount;
- means for determining chemical compositions and their relative amount in the at least one sample made in adsorbent material(s).
