Steps to reproduce
Data was obtained by analyzing stock samples of criteria air pollutants, nitrogen gas, and ambient air using the FTIR-600 Spectrometer. The background infrared spectrum was determined using Planck's radiation distribution law for a radiation source emitting at 1500K (the infrared source used in infrared spectrometers). The Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law , path-integrated concentration, and application of the matrix method were used to determine the gas concentrations.
