Businesses have to shape their future and each business faces negative environmental factors. Moreover, these factors are random and irregular. These factors also lead to irregularity and corruption. Therefore, businesses must operate within a certain system. Businesses have their own operating characteristics. The communication and interaction of the components in the system is high. Any positive or negative developments in any of the components of the system will affect the whole system.

Businesses must work and maintain their existence in a system, and every business exchanges information, energy and materials with its environment in today's conditions.

Looking at the economy in general, before the 1980s, our country has a closed economy with its fixed exchange rate approach and import substitution development model applications. However, together with 1980s, a free market economy and an export-oriented development model were preferred in our country and an open economy prevailed.

Because of the economic conditions prevailing before the 1980s, businesses did not worry about the future and did not try to look far.

But in time, the economy became an open economy, product and money circulation became easier, technology, communication and transportation opportunities increased, new businesses operating in various sectors were opened, competition conditions reached a vital importance for enterprises, inflation rates started to decline and the world began to globalize and shrink.

Because of all these factors, enterprises are now acquainted with national and international competitive environment, strong consumer markets, new legal regulations, customer-oriented production concept and low cost concept.

As a result, businesses have started to give up their long-term business policies and need instant follow-up, analysis and changes. The determination and management of business policies have brought businesses closer to the strategic management approach.

Prior to 1980's years, strategic management is known and practiced by multinational companies and large holdings, while businesses of all sizes now use strategic management as a tool. Strategic management is a management technique that provides the opportunity to determine the aims and targets for the future and to determine the necessary studies to be achieved in public and private organizations or non-profit organizations.

While businesses aim to be the best, they need to constantly follow the innovations, keep themselves up to date and be in constant motion. Businesses are also living organisms. Businesses should draw rational road maps and shape their future accordingly for long life.

In such an effort, environmental analyzes and emission measurements are of great importance. Emission measurements are the measurements required by the enterprises in order to minimize environmental pollution in the regions where rapid industrialization and intensive urbanization are experienced today.

Carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, suspended particulate matter and lead are the most important substances polluting the air and the environment. Reducing sulfur and nitrogen oxide emissions in the air is a must in large cities in all respects. According to the researches, human life is getting shorter in areas with high air pollution.

The main emission measurements in general are:

 

  • Flue gas (emission) measurement (CO, CO2, O2, SO2, NOx, NO, NO2)
  • Chimney sweat analysis
  • Determination of speed in the chimney
  • Determination of gas temperature
  • Determination of percentage of flue gas moisture
  • Total organic carbon (TOC) measurement
  • Heavy metal measurement and analysis
  • Total halogen sampling and determination (HCl, HBr, HF, Br2, CI2)
  • Nitric acid measurement and analysis (HNO3)
  • Hydrogen sulfide measurement and analysis (H2S)
  • Measurement of particulate matter (dust) in the chimney
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOC) and vapor determination
  • Ammonia measurement and analysis (NH3)
  • Formaldehyde measurement and analysis (CH2O)
  • Measurement and analysis of sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
  • Cyanide measurement and analysis (CN)
  • Measurement of dioxin furan
  • Polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) measurement
