Description:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) requires reference spectra to support its gas chromatography/Fourier transform infrared (GC/FT-IR) routine environmental monitoring program. Although on-the-fly (OTF) techniques are needed to satisfy the Agency's high sample throughput requirements, the FT-IR vaporphase reference spectra produced by the Agency thus far have been measured under static conditions. Accordingly, the OTF spectra of 47 environmentally important compounds have been measured by packed-column GC/FT-IR under carefully controlled conditions. Where feasible, the Coblentz Society guidelines for the measurement and recording of vapor-phase infrared reference spectra and supporting data were followed.
