Dykema, O. AND V. Kemp. INVENTORY OF COMBUSTION-RELATED EMISSIONS FROM STATIONARY SOURCES. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/7-76/012 (NTIS PB261081), 1976.
Description:
The report describes the first year of a study covering the combustion-related emissions inventory phase of a 3-year program entitled, 'Analysis of NOx Control in Stationary Sources.' The study is aimed at assisting in the establishment of priorities for detailed studies of techniques for the control of combustion-related emissions from stationary sources. To develop the proper perspective, it was necessary that the inventory include emissions of oxides of nitrogen, unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate, not only from recognized major stationary combustion sources, but also from other stationary source categories in which combustion plays a secondary role. During the first year of the study, emissions were established for 1975 and 1980 from boilers, internal combustion engines, chemical manufacturing, and petroleum refining. This report identifies approximately 90 percent of all nitrogen oxide emissions and from 40 to 50 percent of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter for stationary sources.
