A major advantage of infrared absorption spectroscopy derives from the characteristic fingerprints associated with infrared-active molecules. On the other hand, interferences from common atmospheric components such as C02 and HzO are significant, so that the sensitivity and detection limits that can be obtained are useful primarily for polluted urban air situations. For atmospheric work, long optical path lengths are needed. 

What would be the ideal atmosphere in which for you to work Do you prefer a large corporate atmosphere, working at home, or working in a small office If you re a recent graduate, think about what classroom environment in which you did best. ... 

The process is operated at relatively low working temperature ( 400°C) and nearly atmospheric working pressure. Further melting and cracking processes are both heat-absorbing... 

Round-bottom or pear-shaped reaction flasks are preferred, but note that stirring with the usual type of magnetic flea is not possible in pear-shaped flasks. The flasks can have multiple necks so that the apparatus can be configured for temperature measurement, addition of solids or liquids, mechanical stirring and inert atmosphere work (p. 125). No matter which arrangement of components is used, always clamp the reaction flask at the neck and keep the heaviest components (such as an addition funnel containing another chemical) vertically above the flask. A condenser will still function at 30° from vertical and it is not very heavy.

Quality control of the GC data is very important and for atmospheric sampling, an internal standard should be used to check on recoveries and the performance of the sampling equipment. A suitable compound for atmospheric work is anisole. A known concentration dissolved in methanol should be injected into the adsorption tube before sampling is started. The method is standardized by sampling a prepared standard atmosphere. 

Hanst (1970), in a review of the use of spectroscopic methods in the analysis of the atmosphere, has emphasized the special advantages of infrared vibration-rotation spectra for identification and measurement of air pollutants. He has discussed the capabilities of lasers in atmospheric work, giving particular attention to proposed methods of detecting pollutants by absorption of selected infrared laser lines. Quoting... 

Air pollution control (APC) alkali absorber Induced draught fans for areas of chlorine handling area, near electrolytic cells This is required for the absorption of free chlorine/HCl and for removal of any CI2 leak HCl gas will be released in the atmosphere working area becomes suffocating and dangerous if CI2 is not removed Keep gas detectors for CI2, HCl 200 % spares for absorber and ID fans... 

In addition to fire safety legislation, health and safety at work legislation also covers the elimination or minimization of fire risks. As well as the particular and main general duties under the HSW Act, fire risks are also covered by specific rules, such as for dangerous substances and explosive atmospheres, work equipment, electricity and other hazards. Thus, environmental health officers or HSE inspectors may enforce health and safety standards for the assessment and removal or control of process-related fire risks, where it is necessary, for the protection of workers and others.
