Emissions

Understanding the intricacies of Bill C-12 and Carbon credits

Something over a year ago, I was fortunate enough to preview another VNR book, Controlling Conducted Emissions by Design, by John Fluke. My assessment at the time was that Mr. Fluke had written a very good and useful volume, its only flaw being that it focused on just half of the EMI emissions problem. This, of course, was also its strength; although radiated and conducted emissions do not exist in separate worlds, it can be useful, at least as a point of departure, to look at them as distinct phenomena. Expanding the scope of the conducted emissions book therefore would have served mostly to dilute its purpose and compromise its clarity. After some informal discussions with the publisher on that subject, it was de­ cided to correct the sin of omission by recruiting an author for a companion vol­ ume, to be titled Controlling Radiated Emissions by Design.

Decarbonisation keeps climate change in check and contributes to cleaner air and water.

Plant-driven volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions play a major role in atmospheric chemistry, including ozone and photochemical smog formation in the troposphere, and they extend the atmospheric lifetime of the key greenhouse gas, methane.
