- Abstract
The article compares the use of Quantum Cascade Tunable Infrared Laser Differential Absorption Spectrometer (QC-TILDAS) and Tunable Diode Laser Absorption (TDLAS) Spectroscopy in measuring atmospheric ammonia (NH3) with Mercury Cadmium Telluride (HgCdTe) infrared detector. It says that ammonia is emitted by agricultural activities and can cause health hazards when reacted to acids in the atmosphere. Results show that the time response of QC-TILDAS is faster than other devices.
