Hi all.
My name is Emanuele Cauda, and I started to work at NIOSH, CDC in January 2007. I'm a chemical engineer from Italy, graduated and PhD in Italy, and my field is the characterization and abatement of diesel soot.
I should start to work with a FTIR with a long path cell in the next month but except for some bases I never worked on that instrument.
Any suggestion about a good manual...

Thank you

any Instrumental Methods book will have a basic intro for that instrument.

( if cdc = centralised document control  or equivalent)
i guess CDC stores all the training  materials and all documents are controlled. so you better check your storage
if not then ....check the sop in the laboratory which must have enought informations you needed in your company  ..if not enought then try the help  in the software that you are using for your FITR>
this is not the problem....its not very hard to use ...only you need bit hard work
