Abstract
Infrared absorption spectra of motorboat exhausts were remotely record ed by means of remote-source Fourier transform infrared spectrometer w ith 4 cm-1 spectral resolution in the spectral range 4000-800 cm-1, wh ich covers mainly the spectral bands of methanol, carbon monoxide, car bon dioxide and water vapor. A method for quantitative remote identifi cation is described. The concentrations found for methanol, carbon mon oxide and carbon dioxide in the exhaust were 0.17, 4.26 and 0.32%, res pectively.
