Pretty small, but not cell-phone sized. https://www.amazon.com/MicrOptix-VSA-100-Analyzing-Spectroph...

Ones that detect particular contaminants can be a lot smaller, especially if they are single-use.

That's a spectrophotometer, not a GC/MS... Can you detect smelly airborne chemicals with this as well?
Reading the description, it might be for liquids instead. Anyway it won't give as much information about the molecular components as a mass spectrometer, but you can still get a good idea if there are contaminants.
