Testing and development of a mobile Fourier transform infrared spectrometer system for the analysis of atmospheric pollutants

The mobile Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer system for the monitoring of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is now entering its third and final stage of testing. At present, data have been collected in all three stages of testing. From the results obtained during the three stages of testing, modifications have been made to the mobile FT-IR spectrometer system to increase its overall performance in the field.
