Citation:
Kosusko, Mike, A. Zubrow, R. Cook, Y. Hsu, J. Dorn, AND D. Frank. EPA’s SPECIATE 4.4 Database: Bridging Data Sources and Data Users. Presented at 2015 International Emission Inventory Conference, San Diego, CA, April 12 - 16, 2015.
Impact/Purpose:
The proposed paper and presentation describe the SPECIATE 4.4 database, provide specific recommendations for its use, and make recommendations for future improvements. The International Emissions Inventory Conference audience consists of developers of emissions inventories concerned with improved data sources and accuracy of these inventories. The emissions profiles in SPECIATE allow these end users to provide more accurate information to decision makers.
Description:
SPECIATE is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)repository of volatile organic gas and particulate matter (PM) speciation profiles for air pollution sources. EPA released SPECIATE 4.4 in early 2014 and, in total, the SPECIATE 4.4 database includes 5,728 PM, VOC, total organic gases (TOG), and Other Gases profiles.
