in Bio Medical Waste incinerators one has to monitor both CO & CO2 generation to monitor combustion efficiency. Not sure whether required for hazardous waste incinerators. Probably not.
But looking at the climate change issues, will be a good idea to check it out once a while.
No benefit of monitoring CO2 in ambient as it already exists in air to some proportion, by measuring ambient CO2 we cant comment on air quality, Thats y it is always monitored at source level.

Hello Sir,
Not yet but it is to be mandatory in coming days in terms of ghg monitoring/generation of industry. At present it is with CDM projects.

How does it monitor in ambient?
Moreover, if state is asking for CO2 monitoring that may be for preparing CO2 emission inventory of the whole state/different sectors.

Dear Dr. Satendra
Presently CO2 monitoring is not statutory requirement but it is very much helpful in calculating carbon footprints of the Industry.

Dr Jain,
To my knowledge, CO2 monitoring is not a mandatory requirement but it may be required sometime; in corrections equations.
