“…Regions
with emerging market economies, such as those of Eastern Europe,
South East Asia, and parts of Latin America, increasingly face
problems associated with rising energy demands and other negative
effects of industrialization, such as increasing levels of pollutants
and greenhouse gases.” “This trend will pose serious problems
of acidification, transboundary pollution, reduced air quality,
and declining health unless lessons of prior industrialization
are heeded.”

Remote sensing techniques may serve as a tool
to detect emissions around regulated facilities.
