Air Emissions Measurements in Environmental Monitoring of IPPC Plants

This paper describes some air emissions measurements items coming from the application of the authorization decrees licensing IPPC Plants in Italy at national level in order to respect authorized monitoring and control procedures. New technical situations are analyzed as they occur in plants operation, after release of IPPC operational licensees, as in these Plants where pollution is now under control and where monitoring and reporting must be now properly developed. These items, on the other side, can give also new opportunities for research and development in order to find new methodologies and to develop new studies in order to reach results able to adopted appropriate measurements solutions. In air emissions measurements there is room for improvement by means of new techniques – as technologies and managerial procedures – that can help to solve these problems in order to support better application of IPPC permits.
