Influence of sampling methods on the production of volatile emissions from biosolids-related sources

As there is lack of understanding the roles of sampling methods on measuring for volatile gas sampling from biosolids, it might cause various concern about what are we really measuring. This project aims to understand the influence of sampling methods on emission produced in Wastewater Treatment Plant, especially from biosolids. This research will inform a best practice for sampling devices, regarding the research purpose, sample types, analytes will be proposed. By addressing the potential limitations and influences of different sampling methods on emission measurement, better practice for pollutant management and resource recovery of biosolids can be achieved.

Thesis underway.
