Micro-Sensors
for Monitoring Sulfur Dioxide Emissions
The main contributor to acid rain is the sulfur dioxide produced
by various industrial processes at refineries, pulp and paper mills,
and metal smelters. Currently, there are four main types of sensor
technology which are used to measure sulfur dioxide levels, but
Ann’s invention is small, cost-efficient, sensitive, and can
be used to measure sulfur dioxide emissions of individual smokestacks,
resulting in the ability to effectively monitor pollution process
by process.
