PID ANALYZER<br />

Example: The wire-frame map (Fig. 24a) was obtained from a polluted site. The area on the left shows high<br />

contamination. Its shape may be interpreted as a photo-ionization breakdown with the highest<br />

contamination in the centre domain .<br />

Figs. 24a and 24b – Illustration and interpretation of the PID breakdown phenomena.<br />

A comparison between PID and IR results always produces a better overview of the polluted site. If<br />

hydrocarbons are present in the contaminant, a correlation between PID (in Standard mode) and IR unit<br />

outputs can be observed after a photo-ionisation breakdown of the PID unit.<br />

If the contamination consists of other compounds (non hydrocarbons), there is no response of the IR unit.<br />
