Implementation of the DOAS Method for Measuring Concentrations of Chlorine and Bromine Oxide Molecules in the Atmosphere in the UV Region of the Spectrum

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

The method of differential optical absorption spectroscopy is an effective tool for long (several hundred meters) path measurements of the integral concentration of atmospheric gases and pollutants. A portable low-energy gas analyzer instrument for remote path measurements of gaseous pollution in the atmosphere has been proposed. The gas analyzer comprised a set of ultraviolet LEDs emitting in the UV region of the spectrum, a multi-core optical fiber, a transceiving telescope, a spectrometer, and a data processing system. The paper describes the technique and gives some results of field measurements of concentrations of a number of gaseous pollutants in the atmosphere.
