Detection and Analysis of Atmospheric Pollutants

  • Chapter
Combustion-Generated Air Pollution

Abstract

There are several objectives for air quality measurements and each presents a unique set of requirements to be considered in the selection of sampling sites, sampling frequencies and methods of analysis. Firm concepts about rational approaches are still being developed (76, Morgan, Saltsmann, Percy and Hildebrandt, Bell, McGuire and Noll, and Whitby, Proceedings 11th Methods Conference*), but these authors have already presented useful guidelines.
