Monitor measures smokestack emissions in real time
Article Abstract:
A new smokestack emissions detector has been developed by researchers at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The device, called the R-Tic (real time calibration) Metals Emission Monitor, can detect and measure emissions containing lead, chromium and arsenic from incinerators, electric power plants and manufacturing plants. R-Tic can be calibrated in real time even when the device is in use.
