Because an FTIR analyzer is potentially capable ofanalyzing hundreds of compounds, this test method is not analyte or source specific. The analytes,detection levels, and data quality objectives are expected to change for an

4、y particular testing situation.It is the responsibility of the tester to define the target analytes, the associated detection limits for thoseanalytes in the particular source effluent, and the required data quality objectives for each specific testprogram. Provisions are included in this test metho
