This article provides short notes on Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) Analyzer. NDIR analyzers have been developed to monitor SO2, NOx, CO and other gases that absorb in the infra-red, including CO2 and hydrocarbons. However it is probably true to say that this is the "preferred" technique only for CO monitoring of pollutants in ambient air. The technique is of relatively low [...]

This article provides a short note on Global Warming Potential (GWP). Global warming potential is an estimate of how much a given mass of any of the aforementioned green-house gases will contribute to the hazards of global warming. The efficiency of the molecules and the atmospheric lifetime of the gas determine the global warming potential of the particular green-house gas. [...]
