A Slope-Ratio Method for Quantitative Open-Path FTIR
Ingling, L. (Chemistry Dept., Montgomery College, Rockville, MD); T.L. Isenhour (Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Duquesne Univ., Pittsburgh, PA). Field Analytical Chemistry & Technology, Vol 4 No 2-3, p 127-133, 2000

A quantitative method, the slope-ratio method (SRM), has been developed for measuring ambient background sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The procedure has been successfully used for VOCs such as methanol, acetone, and t-butyl ethyl ether, and shows promise in measuring methane under laboratory conditions.
