Infrared Gas Identification in Any Condition: Adaptive Atmospheric Correction of the XplorIR

The document discusses the challenges of identifying toxic gases, particularly due to interference from atmospheric components like water vapor and carbon dioxide, which are prevalent in the environment and can obscure spectral data. Traditional FT-IR methods struggle with these interferences, but the XplorIR® handheld device overcomes this limitation through advanced data processing algorithms, including Adaptive Atmospheric Correction and Intelligent Subspace Scaling. These techniques allow XplorIR to accurately identify toxic gases at low concentrations, even in the presence of water vapor and CO2, with high confidence levels. The device can identify a wide range of gases, including ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen cyanide, with exceptional accuracy at operationally relevant concentrations. Extensive testing confirms the XplorIR’s ability to detect gases reliably, with minimal false negatives and no false positives, making it a crucial tool for emergency responders. Overall, XplorIR enhances the safety and efficiency of hazardous material detection in the field.
