Abstract: New environmental control strategies and innovative and cost-effective measurement techniques are needed more and more because of increasing regulatory requirements for the limitation of greenhouse gas and other pollutant emissions from industrial facilities. Fourier- transform-infrared-spectroscopy (FTIS) offers a great potential for remote sensing of plume emissions. A high-resolution K300 spectrometer together with a multicomponent analysis software was used inside a mobile environmental laboratory to quantify effluent concentrations in plumes of smoke stacks and flares. The software is based on radiative transfer line-by-line calculations and least-square fit procedures. Several measurement results are described applying the remote emission control FTIS technique. Estimates of the regional air pollution due to an ensemble of small building smoke stacks are given. Measurements are reported to quantify unburned methane from elevated flares. !7
