Emissions Monitoring

What is Emissions Monitoring?

Emissions monitoring encompasses a variety of sampling and analysis techniques used to determine the quantity of air pollutants released to the environment from stationary sources including industrial facilities, oil & gas production and processing facilities, electricity generating units and commercial buildings.

Emissions monitoring activities often make use of continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS), continuous opacity monitoring systems (COMS) and continuous parametric monitoring systems (CPMS), as well as manual inspections (e.g. leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs) in order to obtain emissions monitoring data.

Why Perform Emissions Monitoring?

Stationary sources are typically subject to one or more air quality standards, and are required to monitor emissions of a variety of air pollutants to demonstrate compliance with state and federal environmental laws. Emissions monitoring is also required for participation in emissions inventory and trading programs, and many leading companies perform emissions monitoring as part of their voluntary corporate sustainability reporting initiatives

Emissions monitoring is necessary for:

Compliance with air quality standards
Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) / National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) Reporting
Participation in emissions trading programs (RGGI, WCI, ETS, etc.)
Benchmarking and evaluating emissions reduction activities
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability reporting
