Application of remote techniques in stationary source air emission monitoring

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7323084
The usefulness of remote sensing techniques for monitoring the gaseous and particulate emissions from stationary sources is analyzed. The present status of active and passive remote monitoring instruments is evaluated. This study confirms that the technique of differential absorption has the best sensitivity for the single-ended measurement of gaseous and particulate pollutants. In general, data interpretation problems of the passive techniques make them less accurate than the active methods. (GRA)
