First, the experimental setup is constructed by using sensing nanomaterials, a heating plate, a pneumatic pump, a gas flow meter, a digital temperature device, a camera and a BPCL Ultra Weak Chemiluminescence Analyzer. Then, unique CTL patterns for the four types of harmful gas are obtained from the sensor array. The harmful gases are successful recognized by the PCA method. The optimal conditions are also investigated. Finally, experimental results show high sensitivity, long-term stability and good linearity of the sensor array, which combined with simplicity, make our system a promising application in this field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s131013509","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,9]],"date-time":"2013-10-09T11:57:49Z","timestamp":1381319869000},"page":"13509-13520","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Harmful Gas Recognition Exploiting a CTL Sensor Array"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Qihui","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"},{"name":"Qianjiang College, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 310012, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lijun","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yao","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shihua","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qianjiang College, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 310012, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/S0300-483X(99)00217-6","article-title":"Carbon monoxide poisoning\u2014A public health perspective","volume":"145","author":"Raub","year":"2000","journal-title":"Toxicology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"925","DOI":"10.1016\/S0149-7634(03)00002-2","article-title":"Carbon monoxide and the nervous system","volume":"26","author":"Raub","year":"2002","journal-title":"Neurosci.
