Generic FTIR sampling method for measuring hazardous air pollutant emissions from industrial point soruces

摘要

In recent years EPA has developed Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for measuring hazardous air pollutants. Part of this effector was the preparation of a Protocol~1 with the analytical procedures used to interpret infrared spectra for quantitative pollutant measurements. The FTIR Protocol has been used in a number of emissions test programs. In the course of testing, sampling techniques and method validation procedures have been developed. In addition, as part of the EPA program, source-and compound-specific FTR sampling methods have b een developed, which described specific procedures for some spplcations. Until now, there has not been a general FTIR method that gives detailed procedures for measuring HAPs. Under EPA fundig, MRI currently developing such a generic FTIR method.
