Fourier Transform Infrared Radiation Spectroscopy Applied for Wood Rot Decay and Mould Fungi Growth Detection
Figure 6
Absorbance (logarithmic) versus wave number between 1800–1400 cm−1 for mould fungi on GU plaster board, mould fungi on a wood sample, and wood rot at selected exposure levels. In addition, the water, nondried gypsum and dried gypsum spectra are also plotted as a comparison. From Figure 5 (except gypsum spectra). See discussion in text about the FTIR absorbance peaks within the large (left) and small (right) ellipse encircling the absorbance peaks.
