A Study of Hygroscopic Properties in Spectro- Microscopy and Micro-FTIR Spectroscopy

This study is based on the water absorbing property of some crystalline solids, aerosol and their effect on global warming, hygroscopic nature of solid and their health and climatic effect, STXM, SCSC, FTIR spectroscopic study of hygroscopy NEXAFS spectra of micro dimensional liquid droplets and many more. The data collected will help the viewer to understand this research work in effective manner. One of the major warnings in recent years is about increasing amount of Greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, water vapor, other polyatomic molecules in the atmosphere absorb thermal infrared radiation emitted from the Earth surface and re-radiate some of this energy back toward the earth surface. This phenomenon is in part responsible for resulting hike in temperature of the planet and without it the average temperature of the planet would be about -19 °C (-2°F) instead of the actual average temperature, about 15°C (59°F).7 This infrared warming of the planet, which is additive to the heating by absorbed solar radiation, is commonly referred to as the “greenhouse effect”.
