    Abstract: A method is proposed for detecting at least one chemical compound V contained in a medium (312). The method comprises a verification step (420) which is used to determine whether V is contained in the medium (312). The method furthermore comprises an analysis step (424) in which a concentration c of the at least one chemical compound V is determined.The verification step comprises the following substeps: (a1) the medium (312) is exposed to a first analysis radiation (316) of a variable wavelength λ, the wavelength λ assuming at least two different values; (a2) at least one spectral response function A(λ) is generated with the aid of the radiation (324) absorbed and/or emitted and/or reflected and/or scattered by the medium (312) in response to the first analysis radiation (316); (a3) at least one spectral correlation function K(δλ) is formed by spectral comparison of the at least one spectral response function A(λ) with at least one pattern function R(λ+δλ), the at least one pattern function R(λ) representing a spectral measurement function of a medium (312) containing the chemical compound V and δλ being a coordinate shift; (a4) the at least one spectral correlation function K(δλ) is examined in a pattern recognition step (418), and a conclusion is made as to whether the at least one chemical compound V is contained in the medium (312); The analysis step (424) comprises the following substeps: (b1) the medium (312) is exposed to at least one second analysis radiation (318) having at least one excitation wavelength λEX; (b2) at least one spectral analysis function B(λEX,λRES) is generated with the aid of the radiation (326) of the response wavelength λRES absorbed and/or emitted and/or reflected and/or scattered by the medium (312) in response to the second analysis radiation (318) of the wavelength λEX and the concentration c is deduced therefrom.

    Abstract: A method for identifying brominated flame retardants in a polymer sample. An infrared spectrometry scan of the polymer sample is obtained. Using a first set of parameters, the obtained IR scan is compared to a first database, and a first hit score is calculated. Based on the results of the first hit score, a second database is selected from among a number of databases, and the obtained infrared spectrometry scan is compared to the various scans contained in the selected database using a parameter set that corresponds to the selected database, and a second hit score is calculated. Using the second hit score, another set of parameters is selected, and the obtained infrared spectrometry scan is compared to the various scans contained in the selected third database using this additional parameter set, and a third hit score is calculated. Based on the second and third hit scores, the identity of the brominated flame retardant in the polymer sample is determined with a high degree of accuracy.
