From
1996 to 2004 and currently, Peter is teaching the stack monitoring portion of the
ENVR 605 air monitoring course at Fanshawe College in London,
Ontario. The course is part of a 6th
semester Environmental Technology course dealing
with various methods of air monitoring. The stack
monitoring portion of the course involves lectures
in the theory of stack sampling for particulate
and review of detailed calculations to perform
an actual Method 5 test. The students are also
required to perform a lab following the techniques
outlined in Methods 1 – 5 of the Ontario
Source Testing Code.
