Bounce houses

The use of lead as a stabilizer in vinyl has been mentioned as a component in bounce houses. This is also the case for vinyl tile flooring (Main 2013). Lead dust can be released from vinyl tiles over time. Removal of vinyl tiles should be undertaken with lead-safe work practices or they can be covered with linoleum, cork, or hardwood floors.

The ATR fibre system was built up by a FT-IR spectrometer Bruker Matrix F in connection with an ATR fibre probe (A.R.T. Photonics, Berlin 0 12 mm) and a MCT (mercury cadmium telluride) detector (Belov Technology, Co., Inc.). The probe was directly inserted through the ground neck of the reaction vessel and comprised two 1 m silver halide fibres (0 1 mm) connected to a conical two bounce diamond ATR element housed in a rod of hastelloy. Using this set-up it was possible to follow the reactions to be studied in real-time covering a spectral range from 600 to 2000 wavenumbers.
