M u omtonng here is growing concern around the world about toxic and poten-tially toxic chemicals in the atmo-sphere. In the UnitedStates this concern culminated in the passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act amend-ments (CAAA), which are aimed at reducing toxic air emissions by up to 95%(1). The final version of Title III of theCAAA lists 189 toxic air pollutants for which emissions must he reduced, and this number may increase in the future. Title V of theCAAA outlines a permit pro-gram that is designed to ensure compliance with all CAAA regula-tions (1), As this legislation and similar ac-tions worldwide show, the respon-sibility for improved air quality and proof of compliance with new regu-lations is being placed on both in-dustry and regulatory agencies. As a result, better air-monitoring meth-ods are in demand. Although large emission sources such as smokestacks can be monitored at the origin, it is impractical to monitor fugitive emissions from in-termittent sources such as valves and pipe joints at the source. It is these difficult-to-characterize sources that the open-path Fourier transform in-frared (FT-IR) spectrometry method is well suited to detect and monitor. As a screening tool for detecting fugi-tive emissions and a compliance tool for monitoring fence-line concentra-tions, open-path FT-IR can aid industry and regulatory agencies in reduc-ing emissions.
