In addition to sulfur dioxide, which other gas is important to monitor in boiler emissions?

Monitoring carbon monoxide in boiler emissions is crucial due to its toxic nature and potential to pose serious health risks. Incomplete combustion of fuel can lead to the production of carbon monoxide, which can accumulate in the environment and is hazardous to human life and health. High levels of carbon monoxide can lead to poisoning, and it is a significant concern in enclosed spaces or areas with poor ventilation.

Additionally, monitoring carbon monoxide can serve as an indicator of the combustion efficiency of the boiler system. If carbon monoxide levels are elevated, it often indicates that the combustion process is not occurring as efficiently as it should, meaning that the system might need adjustments to improve performance and reduce emissions. Monitoring this gas helps ensure compliance with environmental regulations and promotes safer operating conditions.

While ammonia, ozone, and methane are also significant in various contexts, especially in terms of environmental impact, carbon monoxide is directly relevant to boiler operations and the specific concerns of combustion processes.
