Description:
SPECIATE is the U.S. EPA's repository of total organic compounds (TOC) and particulate matter (PM) speciation profiles of air pollution sources. This report documents how EPA developed the SPECIATE 4.0 database that replaces the prior version, SPECIATE 3.2. SPECIATE 4.0 includes a total of 4,080 PM and TOC profiles (2,019 new profiles and 2,071 profiles carried forward from SPECIATE 3.2). SPECIATE 4.0 includes 1,361 new PM profiles (of which 95 are simplified profiles and 47 are composite profiles) and 648 TOC profiles (of which 11 are composite profiles). In addition, the report documents revisions to auxiliary data tables including the volatile organic compounds (VOC)-to-total organic gases (TOG) conversion table and the source classification code (SCC) to SPECIATE profile cross-reference table. This report presents details about how EPA developed SPECIATE 4.0.
