Due to the threat of a possible global climate change and the greenhouse effect caused by constituents of anthropogenic origin in the atmosphere, air quality has become a major environmental issue. As a consequence, atmospheric emissions need to be monitored and controlled. This monograph presents technologies for emission control and analysis from industrial and energy plants. The author explains the physical and chemical bases before proceeding to the practical performance techniques. The publication provides the reader with the knowledge necessary to critically analyze and investigate emission measurement techniques.
