Real-Time Fluorescence Analysis of the Controlled Incineration of Army Colored Smoke Compositions

摘要

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons can be produced during the thermal destruction of unserviceable colored smoke compositions. Because some of these compounds are carcinogenic, there is a need to monitor their possible release into the environment. The real-time monitoring of stack gases during the incineration testing of several Army colored smoke formulations is the subject of this report.
