Comprehensive laboratory measurements of biomass-burning emissions: 2. First intercomparison of open-path FTIR, PTR-MS, and GC-MS/FID/ECD

The Tropical Forest and Fire Emissions Experiment: Method Evaluation of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions Measured By PTR-MS, FTIR, And GC from Tropical Biomass Burning

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from fires in tropical forest fuels were quantified using Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTRMS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography (GC) coupled to PTRMS (GC-PTR-MS). We investigated VOC emissions from 19 controlled laboratory fires at the USFS (United States Forest Service) Fire Sciences Laboratory and 16...

Comparison of aromatic hydrocarbon measurements made by PTR-MS, DOAS and GC-FID during the MCMA

A comparison of aromatic hydrocarbon measurements is reported for the CENICA supersite in the district of Iztapalapa during the Mexico City Metropolitan Area field experiment in April 2003 (MCMA 2003). Data from three different measurement methods were compared: a Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS), long path measurements using a UV Differential Optical Absorption Spectrometer ...

FTIR and GC–MS spectral datasets of wax from Pinus roxburghii Sarg. needles biomass

The study has been carried out to investigate the chemical composition and type of linkages present in wax obtained from Pinus roxburghii Sarg. needles biomass. The spectroscopic techniques viz. FT-IR and GC-MS were employed to obtain spectral datasets. The results were analysed to identify major structural components constituting wax in native state. The spectral recordings were carried out at...
