Environmental monitoring using Raman and luminescence spectroscopies
- EIC Labs. Inc., Norwood, MA (United States)
Optical techniques such as Raman and luminescence are being used for the in situ location and identification of environmental contaminants. Fieldable spectrometers coupled to fiber optic probes and {open_quotes}down-hole{close_quotes} spectrometers have been developed for monitoring key pollutants such as chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents and fuels in soil, soil gas, groundwater, and storage vessels ranging from bottles and drums to million-gallon underground storage tanks. This paper will describe our recent progress in fabricating compact Raman and fluorescence systems and implementing them in the field. Included will be a discussion of sample matrix effects and the limitations they pose on the use of both techniques for in situ detection.
