Soil air $CO_2$ concentrations were measured in two soil depths (O and B horizon) by (1) the use of the Draeger direct reading chromatographic tubes and (2) syringe gas collections with gas chromatographic detection in a Spodosol supporting low elevation, commercial spruce-fir forest, Maine, USA, Mean soil air $CO_2$ concentrations(%) during the growing season of 1991 ranged from 0.11 in the O horizon by the Draeger method to 0.29 in the B horizon by the gas chromatographic method. Soil air $CO_2$ concentrations by the Draeger method were lower than those obtained using the gas chromatographic method for both soil horizons. However, data from the two methods were significantly(p<0.01) correlated and paralleled each other relative to temporal patterns. Positive and highly significant correlations existed between soil air $CO_2$ concentrations and soil temperature, although correlation coefficients only ranged from 0.13 to 0.32, depending on the method and horizon chosen.

Chemical accidents are the cause of the accident site during the initial responders to quickly and easily see materials and concentration method for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) is widely used in the initial response team direct reading detection equipment used. Ministry of the tubular gas detection equipment to detect direct reading detection equipment used in the event of an accident scene, and shell-and-tube gas detector for rapid detection and identification and precise analysis of causative pollutants before about strategically can identify the quantitative and qualitative useful equipment. However, those who initially respond to the scene of a direct reading detection equipment and a simple lack of understanding of how to use the numbers only because of the way you want to check the accuracy of detection results have been raising questions about the increase. The scene of the accident in order to obtain an accurate detection results used in this paper, the Ministry of Environment of gas detectors detect tubular Kitagawa and Draeger detector tube to check the reactivity of the material on-site detection of early response of those who were to raise the accuracy of the results.
