Description:
The report documents the development of the anthropogenic emissions estimates to be used in the 1985 National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) Emissions Inventory. Point and area source data, spanning the contiguous U.S., focus on the NAPAP high priority pollutants SO2, NOx, and VOC. Detailed point source data were obtained for more than 100 area source categories. Quality control was conducted at all levels of inventory development. This effort was the first national emissions inventory in which the data were actually returned to the responsible agencies for their comments and corrections. As a result, the quality of the annual inventory is better than that of any previously developed national inventory. Data are summarized at various levels of aggregation including nation, state, and source category. Emissions data are also analyzed by plant size, stack height, and general source type.
