RESEARCH 131
Estimation of inhalation exposure to iV-nitrosodipropylamine during the application and incorporation of the herbicide trifluralin. Edgar W. Day, Jr.,* Donald G. Saunders, James W. Mosier, Edward M. McKinney, Fred L. Powers, Richard D. Griggs, and Richard Frank The sampling and analytical tech niques described demonstrate an ex tremely low level of exposure poten tial. 136 • Quantitative analysis of nitrate ion in ambient aerosols by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. James S. Bogard, Stanley A. Johnson,* Romesh Kumar, and Paul T. Cunningham The work described quantifies ni trate ions in standard samples by in frared spectroscopy with particular reference to the absorption bands at 2430, 1384, and 840 c m - ' .
