Stack Testing for Dummies by Scott Swiggard and Ron McCulloch

With steadily increasing environmental regulations, it is more important than ever for industry leaders and environmental managers to understand the EPA’s air quality requirements and the nature of testing services that they often must contract to prove compliance with these regulations. Stack Testing for Dummies, by Dr. Scott Swiggard and Ron McCulloch of Golden Specialty Inc., provides an overview of basic stack emissions testing principles and practices, and serves as a guide for environmental managers who purchase testing services.

This installment of the For Dummies series from Wiley Publishing covers:
• Air quality history, rules and the essential objectives of air emissions testing
• Major types of tests and test methods (manual, instrumental, continuous)
• Selecting a quality provider (accreditation, quality systems, capabilities and costs: both up-front and hidden)
• Elements of planning a test
• Online resources (technical and administrative)
• Common stack testing equations, unit conversions and physical constants
The authors are offering complimentary copies for a limited time at goldenspecialty.com or at the Golden Stack Testing Nuggets blog page (air-quality-testing.blogspot.com/).
