A method and apparatus for investigating a chemical-based event inside a vehicle without significant delay. A number of samples of air are collected at a number of locations inside the vehicle in response to a detection of the chemical-based event inside the vehicle. A number of chemical profiles for the number of samples are generated on-site using a portable chemical profiling device. A probable cause of the chemical-based event is identified using at least one of the number of chemical profiles.

Investigating chemical-based events that occur in vehicles

A method of determining degree of aging of an incompletely cured polymer resin material collecting IR spectra on a series of standards with carefully controlled aging time and data collected at appropriate time intervals with the standard LC method for determining cure condition of the material, using said spectra and LC data to make a multivariate calibration model and using said model to predict the cure condition of uncured samples of interest.
