LoginQuantitative and qualitative gas analysis is widely needed in present modern industrialized societies. The reasons for this need range from purely economical interests, to meeting the requirements of environmental and occupational health legislation. Examples of these applications include process effluent monitoring, emission monitoring, workplace safety monitoring, clinical blood gas monitoring, toxic gas monitoring in fires, chemical warfare agent detection and ambient air monitoring. Since the field of different applications is practically unlimited, a wide variety of measurement techniques have been used. Commonly used techniques include gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, ultraviolet spectrometry, chemiluminescence techniques and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry, the last of which will be the issue of this presentation.
