AB: LPFTS is a new evolving air pollution measuring technique with potential application in determining source GHG and precursor emissions. When monitoring any air pollution source, it is ideal to detect every emitted constituent. LPFTS is capable of detecting multiple gas absorption signatures simultaneously by measuring light transmittance across a predetermined path. Presented here is a detailed description of LPFTS methodology as well as protocols developed for simultaneous detailed field data acquisition of multiple gases to permit gaining insights into qualitative and quantitative emission differences and relationships between land applied raw manure versus anerobically digested manure.
