Gg. Vorypaev et al., A DEVICE FOR THE QUICK SPECTRAL-ANALYSIS OF THE CONCENTRATION OF IMPURITY ELEMENTS IN AIR, Journal of optical technology, 64(7), 1997, pp. 674-676
An original plasma source has been developed for exciting the spectra
of small amounts of impurities in air, based on which a laboratory pro
totype of a compact portable device for the quick spectral analysis of
air in production settings, ecological monitoring, the monitoring of
technological processes, and other purposes has been constructed. The
analysis sensitivity for most of the studied impurity elements in air
is tenths and hundredths of milligrams per cubic meter. (C) 1997 The O
