  2. Introduction • Spectroscopy and Perfluorosulfonicacid (PSA) membrane • Acetone • Formaldehyde • Water Interference http://www.chem.agilent.com/en-US/products-services/instruments-systems/molecular-spectroscopy/8453-uv-vis-diode-array-system/Pages/photodiode_array_benefits.aspx

  3. Goal • Collect sufficient amount of data to be able to test the hypothesis that membrane additives can minimize water interference in optical sensing of acetone and formaldehyde

  4. Tasks • Task 1: Training • Task 2: Acetone exposure calibrations • Task 3: Repeat for formaldehyde • Task 4: Draw conclusions • Task 5: Deliverables
