Passive FTIR remote sensing of smokestack emissions

Abstract

Quantitative chemical analysis of heated plumes with passive FT-IR remote sensing techniques is discussed and illustrated. Field spectra of a power plant plume are examined and analyzed in terms of sulfur dioxide concentration. The results are compared to known concentration values obtained from continuous emission monitors within the stack. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Field Analyt Chem Technol 3: 111–115, 1999
