Abstract: This paper reports a portable electronic nose(e-nose) for the selective determination of formaldehyde in the presence of interference gases.The e-nose is composed of an array of four sensors, a signal regulating circuit, an electronic olfactory and a display.The fuzzy neural network(FNN) is applied to the analysis of the sensor responses.The reported results are satisfied with a pass rate of 81.3% within the permitted relative error in the mass concentration range of 0.001-0.25 mg/Land have no recognition error for the formaldehyde in the presence of interference gases.The enose is reliable for the recognition and determination of formaldehyde concentration in air.

Key words: Electronic nose, Fuzzy neural net work(FNN), Formaldehyde
