Description:
Emission data from stationary point sources in the St. Louis Interstate Air Quality Control Region were gathered during 1975. Data for 'criteria' pollutants were obtained on an hourly basis. Emissions from large sources were based on hourly, measured values at pertinent operating parameters. Those from smaller sources, between 10 and 1000 tons per year, were based on annual data modified by a detailed operating pattern. Examples of the data are presented in the report. The full set of data are available from the RAPS Data Bank. An emission factor verification program was initiated by testing typical sources using standard EPA methods. Results indicate good agreement for SO2 values. Data for NOx and particulates originating from combustion sources indicate that the existing factors are too high by variable but substantial amounts.
