Impact/Purpose:
information
Description:
The report gives results of a project to gather and evaluate existing data on nonprocess solvents; i.e., products not directly incorporated into specific industrial processes. This information is to be incorporated into an overall inventory project assessing consumer product use and emissions. An additional objective of this project is to identify pollution prevention approaches and technology demonstration opportunities to enhance regulatory development efforts. The report presents the data and information gathered for nonprocess solvent use in 15 industrial/commercial business categories: automotive repair; bakeries; building renovation; chemical manufacturing; electrical equipment maintenance and repair; florists; furniture repair/restoration; heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning services; machine shops; mold release agents; office products; quick print shops; road paving; roofing; and textile manufacturing. Literature searches provided little specific information on nonprocess solvent use. Contacts with trade associations and industry representatives proved to be the best source of information. The information obtained tends to be qualitative and may include subjective extrapolations.
