Air pollution prevention: manual on emission monitoring

The Manual on Emission Monitoring covers the need for information about the national practice in the field of emission control at plants, requiring official approval. The legal bases for discontinuous and continuous measurements for emission control at plants, requiring official approval, are treated. Thereby also the European environmental legislation is considered. The publication procedure for testing institutes, which execute such measurements, is described. The execution of discontinuous emission measurements (course of the measurement and measurement requests) and for continuous emissions measurement (suitability test, installation, maintenance, functional test and calibration of the measuring device) including the evaluation and documentation of the measured values is described. The procedure of remote emission monitoring is explained. The most important measuring procedures are reported. The guide contains a current list of suitability tested measuring devices. Such measuring devices are presented by the manufacturers. The presentations include specifications about the mode of operation and the device characteristics (e.g. parameters from the suitability test).
