Greenhouse gas detection with quantum cascade laser photoacoustic spectroscopy

A discussion covers annual greenhouse gas emissions by sector, which include industrial; processes, transportation fuels, agricultural products, fossil fuel retrieval, power stations, waste disposal, and residential, commercial, and other sources; photoacoustic detection of greenhouse gases (CH4 and sulfur hexafluoride); and the photoacoustic technique. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 103rd AWMA Annual Conference and Exhibition (Calgary, Alberta, Canada 6/22-25/2010).
