A gas analyser is provided to measure the concentration of formaldehyde within enclosed environments such as within buildings comprising an ultraviolet light source (102), a sample chamber (104), a detector (112, 114). The detector measures the intensity of light received by photosensors within a measurement range of wavelengths, and at least one reference range of wavelengths. Advantageously, the concentration of formaldehyde is determined taking into account fluctuations in the intensity of light emitted by the light source, and in the presence of any interferents such as nitrogen dioxide. A method of measuring the concentration of formaldehyde in enclosed environments is also presented. |
