Description:
The report gives results of the generation of emission factors for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions for a number of source classification categories (SCCs), as part of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP). Each SCC represents a process or function that is logically associated with a point source of air pollution within a given source category. The objective of this effort was to estimate VOC emission factors for categories where substantial amounts of VOC emissions would be expected. In addition to emission factors previously reported, the report includes emission factor estimates developed from a variety of readily available information. Data gathered during numerous standards-setting activities as well as data provided from state emissions inventory data bases were used to calculate the new emission factor estimates. Major emphasis of this effort was on organic chemical manufacturing processes and storage of petroleum products and organic chemicals.
