| Contents Notes |
A mobile laboratory is now available to measure toxic compounds in the atmosphere. The mobility of this unit allows access to many sites in the continental United States. When this laboratory arrives at a designated site. a high resolution Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) intstrument is used to measure the toxic materials, or volatile organic compounds, in the atmosphere. The site could be a landfill, lagoon, industrial site, chemical spill or any area where atmospheric pollution occurs. The FT-IR instrument is capable of identifying and quantifying atmospheric molecules at the parts per billion (ppb) level. The path observed by this instrument could be as small as a few meters, or as large as 600 meters in length, nearly 2,000 feet. Recently, the chemicals emitted at an idustrial site have been identified at distances of up to 0.3 miles. |
