Hazmat Elite Flashcards
What 2 items are needed to plug into computer
Router and white cable
Hazmat elite technology
FTIR
Fourier transform infrared technology
What is the first step in FTIR analysis using HazMat Elite?
Infrared (IR) light is directed at the sample.
How does the sample interact with the IR light in FTIR?
The sample absorbs specific wavelengths of IR light based on its molecular bonds.
What happens to the absorbed and transmitted IR light?
The remaining light that is not absorbed passes through and is measured to create a unique spectrum.
How does HazMat Elite identify a substance using FTIR?
The absorption spectrum is compared to a database of known chemical signatures.
Why is FTIR effective for chemical identification in HazMat situations?
Each chemical has a unique IR absorption pattern, allowing precise identification of unknown substances.
