The molecular species, the spectral bands selected for the system, and the height ranges over which measurements can be made, are summarized. Initial data analysis concentrated on calibrating the instrument and perfecting the attitude and temperature

The air we breathe and the water we drink are essential ingredients for a healthy life. Unfortunately polluted water and air are common throughout the world. Over a day a healthy adult will consume between 2 and 3 l of fluid and inhale around 11 m3 of air. While exposure to pollutants in air is via inhalation that for water may occur via the ingestion, dermal absorption and inhalation routes. In this chapter we review the sources and concentrations of various air pollutants before considering drinking water quality. For the latter we concentrate on the potentially harmful disinfection by-products.

NOx and CO are produced by combustion processes and are emitted by vehicles and industries; VOCs are both anthropogenic and biogenic hydrocarbons (BVOCs). The main BVOCs are isoprene and monoterpenes.
