Surface Sampling for Contaminants Employing Infrared Spectroscopy

Abstract

This report covers a series of preliminary experiments that focus on the development of a quick and efficient method of sampling surfaces for toxic contaminants. An introduction outlines how the problem is approached, while an experimentation section details the procedures used to evaluate the feasibility of such a concept. The paper concludes by presenting the results and offering suggestions for the future development of a practical surface sampling procedure. Ideas for expanded features and applications of this new sampling procedure are also included. All tables and graphs referenced in this report may he found in Appendix A.
