MID-UV ACETYLENE CROSS-SECTIONS REVISITED - SAMPLE CONTAMINATION RISKIN-SOURCE DATA

We have reviewed the most recent results on acetylene absorption in th e weak A-X band system (features longward of 185 nm). Then, using acet one absorption measurements in the 185-200 nm range together with satu rated vapor pressure studies of acetone, we are able to resolve discre pancies noted by several authors for some A-X bands.
