Figure 30. Lack of identification by <strong>the</strong> computer of <strong>the</strong> GC-MS/IRD at PCFL of <strong>the</strong> MS peaks<br />

of <strong>the</strong> preceding two scans following search among <strong>the</strong> database on all available molecules.<br />

Moreover, <strong>the</strong> IR scan was done <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> entire range of 40 to 500 a.m.u., thus<br />

establishing that said IR peak is <strong>the</strong> sole conventional constituent in macroscopic<br />

percentage in said a.m.u. range of all MS peaks, namely, <strong>the</strong> single constituent<br />

identified by <strong>the</strong> IRD is a constituent of all MS peaks.<br />

It should also be noted that, as recalled earlier, <strong>the</strong> IR only detects dimers such<br />

as C–O, H–O, etc., and does not detect complete molecules. There<strong>for</strong>e, <strong>the</strong> peak<br />

detected by <strong>the</strong> IRD is not sufficient to establish <strong>the</strong> presence of <strong>the</strong> complete<br />

molecule CO 2 unless <strong>the</strong> latter is independently identified in <strong>the</strong> MS. Yet <strong>the</strong><br />

MS scan does not identify any peak <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> CO 2 molecule, as indicated earlier.<br />

Despite that, <strong>the</strong> presence in <strong>the</strong> MS peaks of complete molecules CO 2 cannot be<br />

ruled out. There<strong>for</strong>e, <strong>the</strong> most plausible conclusion is that <strong>the</strong> MS peaks represent<br />

clusters composed of a percentage of C–O dimers and ano<strong>the</strong>r percentage of CO 2
