Distant look at pollution

Article Abstract:

Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) interferometers and ultraviolet differential optical absorption spectrometers (UV-DOAS) detect pollutants as effectively, but more quickly and in a wider area, than standard point-samplers. The Houston Regional Monitoring Corp, using equipment from Radian Corp came to this conclusion after testing an FT-IR and a UV-DOAS for three months at an Exxon Corp plant in Baytown, TX. However, these devices would only complement, not replace, point-samplers, according to Radian project manager Robert Spellicy.
