← ScienceWhich risk increases when Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) data processing incorrectly applies baseline correction 'functions'?
A)Underestimation of peak area values✓
B)Systematic wavelength calibration offsets occur
C)Deconvolution artifacts in the spectrum
D)Instrument detector saturation instability arises
💡 Explanation
Incorrect baseline correction can cause underestimation of peak areas because it skews the integrated values; therefore, quantified component concentrations will be artificially low, rather than detector errors or calibration issues under spectral processing alone.
