This paper details the design, implementation, and application of an extractive Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) ambient air monitoring system. The system achieves simultaneous detection and accurate quantification of several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the range of sub-parts per million on a continuous, near-real-time basis. The system was deployed at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico, to detect 1,1-dichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, chloroform, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, chlorobenzene, 1,2- dichloroethane, and toluene, as well as other ambient air constituents. |
