Using a Mobile Multigas FTIR Analyzer in Four Different Environmental Accidents

摘要

Our study presents results of air-pollutant measurements in four types of environmental accidents using a mobile multi-gas FTIR apparatus. Fuel leakage at a gas-station caused extremely high concentrations of pollutants. During a fire at a landfill the release of CO, SO_2, NO_2, heptane, ethane, propane, benzene, toluene, xylene, and styrene was also high. An accident in defense industry facilities did not lead to endangerment of the environment. An emitter-air condenser in an industrial facility released dangerous concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, benzene, toluene, xylene, and styrene. A mobile FTIR gas analyzer is useful in diverse ecological accidents.
