Description:
The report provides, to states and other participants and users of the 1985 National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program Emissions Inventory, a general understanding of the estimating procedures that will be used by NAPAP and EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards to generate 1985 emissions estimates for area source categories. General methodology and assumptions are discussed, as well as the original source of algorithms, activity levels, and emission factors. Emission estimates are updated annually by a series of computer programs which multiply each current area source activity level by an emission factor that accounts for emissions removed by any control technology. County emissions estimates are then summed to produce national emissions estimates. Area sources are divided into stationary sources, mobile sources, solid waste disposal, miscellaneous area sources, and additional area sources.
