Emissions Monitoring Is Mandatory And Requires Manufacturers To Adhere To Certain Guidelines

By Ruth R. Allisone


Emissions monitoring is required by law under the Clean Air Bill; it is a way for us to make sure that factories, homes, cars and other high emission locales are being closely watched. The only way that researchers can make necessary changes, they need that important data and a lot of it to compare; they need to know how much is being released to the outside as well as the inside. The air that we breathe is important and there must be quality assurance, so data is gathered to make sure that the amounts of dangerous substances stay below legal guidelines.

These types of monitoring systems can give advance warnings if there are any changes in chemical levels such as: CO2 (carbon dioxide), NO (nitrogen oxide), NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), SO2 (sulphur dioxide), PM (particle matter), along with other gases. Factories rely on emissions monitoring devices to test the quality of air; there are many different types that you can use to tell how many pollutants are being added to the air around workers and the population. All harmful chemicals and toxins need close monitoring and accurate records.

Monitoring systems that are in plants nowadays are able to keep keen records on: the parameter around the plant itself, gas systems, filters and the umbilical lines, which are used to take samples whenever necessary along with gas analyzers. Close laws for the area that the plant is in, including federal laws and state laws have to be adhered every day; this in return gives companies accurate data in case changes need to be made to make working in the plant easier and safer.

An infrared gas analyzer is generally used in areas with extreme heat such as a kiln; they can meet the heat requirements yet not be destroyed. You can bet that with this type of monitoring system your data and important analysis will not be lost. Lives could be endangered if the air is at dangerous levels within these factories. You also have to take into consideration while monitoring high pollutant plants that the inside air quality is equally as important as the outside; the safety of the workers is vital.

The air around you could become very hazardous due to the harsh chemicals billowing out of the plant and staying inside, it could jeopardize the health of the workers. The result could mean great harm to the animals, human life and the ozone; these are just a few things that could be in danger. If you have a continuous emission monitoring system, or a CEMS in place, you will be able to get accurate readings on the quality air controls. Health can be protected by making sensible choices regarding your monitoring systems.
