(a)   HAPs for which Entropy has obtained quantitative reference spectra.


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


(c)   Calculated root mean square deviation over the analytical region in 


      spectra generated by subtracting reference spectra of interferant 


      species from sample spectra.


(d)   Maximum flue gas concentration (in ppm) of undetected compound calculated 


      according to procedures discussed in Sections 4.6.3 and 3.3.1.  Dilution


      factor not taken into account.


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


      in a FTIR validation test.
