Concentrations of gaseous trace elements such as mercury in the ambient air of the Netherlands
ABSTRACT Around the world, there is increasing concern about mercury in the environment. Sources of mercury emissions to the air include municipal waste incineration plants, coal-fired power plants and municipal sewage sludge disposal. The emission of mercury from coal-fired power plants in the Netherlands is well documented. However, to assess the environmental consequences of the emissions of ...

The largest source of anthropogenic mercury emissions
The artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is practiced in at least a dozen countries in Latin America. These industries are the largest source of anthropogenic mercury emissions which pollute the air, soil, and water and lead to severe problems with the human health. Therefore, mercury contamination has to be monitored and eliminated. We present you a whitepaper which outlines: What is ...

Fenceline Monitoring of Benzene in Refineries Using OMNI-2100 - Case Study
Background: According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)1, undetected leaks (aka fugitive emissions) are a significant source of pollution and can emanate from industry, refineries, energy production, and natural gas pipelines. Fixing these leaks can protect workers and nearby communities, reduce operating costs for companies, and assist regulators with implementing source emissions ...

Global solution: Gas and particulate analysis in Cement industry
Cement plants are increasingly required to install continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS). While these represent a significant financial outlay, a range of other factors also need to be considered when selecting a suitable CEMS. To the inexperienced, selecting a suitable CEM can mistakenly be considered as simply ensuring that the applicable national regulations (eg MACT in the USA, ...
