Abstract :
Temperature-dependent absorption-spectra measurements in far-infrared of estrogenic pollutants at various temperatures using terahertz spectroscopy are presented. The shifting of absorption peaks with decreasing temperature is ascribed to the collective vibrational modes of the molecule.
