With the aim of identifying a small array of inexpensive sensors whose response vector could provide an unambiguous sig-nature at a useful sensitivity level, we characterized the sensitivity of seven easily available solid -state sensors to fecal component gases and vapors, and to potential interfer-ences anticipated in the environment. The sensors dynamic responses in a rapid periodic heating and cooling cycle proved substantially quieter than their DC responses at constant temperatures.
Solid-state gas sensors nominally optimized for detecting natural gas tagged with mercaptans have been marketed in the past, but they are not currently available.
