(a)   HAPs in quantitative reference library.


(b)   Frequency region, in wavenumbers (1/cm) chosen for the analysis.


(c)   Calculated root mean square deviation in chosen analytical region in 


      subtracted spectra.


(d)   Calculated maximum flue gas concentration (in ppm) of undetected compound 


      determined according to procedures in Sections 4.6.3 and 3.3.2.


(e)   All HAPs from acetonitrile to m-xylene were measured in spiking experiments


      on Tenax in FTIR validation test.  Compounds marked with * met Method 301


      validation criteria.
