Volcanic CO2 flux measurement at Campi Flegrei by tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy
2014
Near-infrared room-temperature Tunable Diode Lasers (TDL) have recently found increased usage in atmospheric chemistry and air monitoring research, but applications in volcanology are still limited to a few examples. Here, we explored the potential of a commercial infrared laser unit (GasFinder 2.0 from Boreal Laser Ltd) for measurement of volcanic CO2 mixing ratios, and ultimately for estimating the volcanic CO2 flux. Our field tests were conducted at Campi Flegrei near Pozzuoli, Southern Italy, where the GasFinder was used during three campaigns in October 2012, January 2013 and May 2013 to repeatedly measure the path-integrated mixing ratios of CO2 along cross-sections of the atmospheric…
Die CO 2 -Messung im Atemgas
1997
UNLABELLED Currently, even in prehospital emergency medicine (PEM), continuous end-tidal CO2 monitoring is frequently used as a sensitive and non-invasive technique in ventilated patients. Due to its central role, the continuous measurement of exhaled CO2 provides immediate information about the status of three essential functions of the organism: ventilation, circulation, and metabolism. METHODS Recent literature, obtained by a computer-guided search (Winspirs), and product information of all currently available capnometry devices were reviewed in detail. Firstly, the theoretical background of different CO2-measurement methods and techniques is described. Secondly, indications and specific…
