ECOMESURE at Intersol 2022
ECOMESURE is at Intersol 2022, the international congress on soils, sediments and water. Soil management is a major issue. Used for agricultural, urban and industrial purposes, soils are also places where pollution transfers take place. It is therefore necessary to assess the interactions between soil and air in order to monitor atmospheric fallout and better protect populations. To meet these ...

$3 billion market for air pollution monitoring, sampling and process control
The world market for stack continuous emissions monitors (CEMs) will be $900 million this year. However, if one takes into account the additional revenues for ambient monitoring systems, intermittent stack sampling and process control using pollutant analyzers, the market is above $3 billion. This is the latest forecast in the McIlvaine Air Pollution Monitoring and Sampling World Markets. Some ...

Air pollution monitoring market to rise 20% in 2010, says new research
The world market for stack and ambient continuous monitoring plus periodic monitoring and other related services will rise to US$2.2 billion in 2010. This is a 20 percent increase over the projected 2009 market. The rapid expansion in CO2 measurement investment and the increased activity for stack monitoring in Asia will account for most of the increase. These are the conclusions reached in ...

Composition of particulate matter influences its long-term health effects
A link between particulate matter (PM) exposure and inflammatory disease has been shown by many studies, but few have explored how the chemical composition of PM influences inflammatory processes. This study investigated the connection between different components of PM and markers of inflammation in the blood, finding that long-term exposure to transition metals, emitted by traffic and industry, ...

Monitoring Total Carbon for straightforward management of runoff from de-icing episodes at airports
During winter operations vast areas of airport runways, taxiways, and aprons are cleared of ice and snow using acetate type chemicals and airplane wings are de-iced with glycol based antifreeze. During these seasonal de-icing episodes the runoff water suddenly becomes heavily contaminated with organics and needs to be diverted to a treatment/recovery plant or holding ponds. Total Carbon (TC) is ...

`Chemical fingerprints` could reveal source of mercury pollution
Scientists have described a new method for tracking down the source of mercury pollution from burning coal. By analysing the chemistry of the pollution, it is possible to identify which region the coal was originally from. Mercury pollution in the atmosphere comes mainly from coal-fired power stations and chemical plants. Mercury is naturally present in coal and is emitted when it is burned as ...

EPA Inspections Remedy Clean Water Act Violations by Poultry Operation near Green Ridge, Mo.
Environmental Protection Agency personnel conducted a series of inspections in May and October 2013 at the H and M Farms, LLC, a poultry operation near Green Ridge, Missouri. As a result of the inspections, the owner of the facility has agreed to remedy Clean Water Act (CWA) violations occurring on-site. EPA inspections and sampling documented pollutant discharges from the 384,000-bird facility ...

Mercury Reduction Requirements Generate Billion Dollar Market Opportunity
The new regulations to reduce mercury emissions are creating a market for products and services of hundreds of millions of dollars per year and a five year market in excess of $1 billion. This is the conclusion of the McIlvaine Company in its Air Pollution Management online service. These totals are extracted from the more specific McIlvaine reports on air pollution monitoring and sampling, flue ...
