What is Air Emissions Monitoring?

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), monitoring is a general term for ongoing collection and use of measurement data or other information for assessing performance against a standard or status with respect to a specific requirement. With regards to EPA’s air quality regulatory requirements, there are two basic types of monitoring with two different functions:

Ambient air quality monitoring collects and measures samples of ambient air pollutants to evaluate the status of the atmosphere as compared to clean air standards and historical information; and
Stationary source emissions monitoring collects and uses measurement data (or other information) at individual stationary sources of emissions (i.e., facilities, manufacturing plants, processes, emissions control device performance, or to verify work practices).

In stationary source emissions monitoring, a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) is used. Learn more about ESC Spectrum’s CEM systems and CEMS solutions.
