Bursey, J. AND D. P. Dayton. SOURCE SAMPLING FINE PARTICULATE MATTER: STATIONARY SOURCE CHARACTERIZATION TESTING OF A SMELT TANK AT A PULP AND PAPER FACILITY, VOLUMES 1 AND 2. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-03/101, 2003.
Impact/Purpose:
Fine particulate matter of aerodynamic diameter 2.5 m or less (PM-2.5) has been found harmful to human health, and a National Ambient Air Quality Standard for PM-2.5 was promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in July 1997. A national network of ambient monitoring stations has been established to assist in determining areas which do not meet the ambient standard for PM-2.5. For such areas, it is important to determine the major sources of PM-2.5.
One of the tools often used in apportioning ambient PM-2.5 to sources is the source-receptor model. Such a model requires knowledge of the PM-2.5 chemical composition emitted from each significant source as well as the chemical composition of the PM-2.5 collected at the receptor (ambient monitoring sites. This report provides such a profile for a smelt tank at a pulp and paper facility. Along with the PM-2.5 emission profile, data are also provided for gas-phase emissions of several organic compounds. Data are provided in a format suitable for inclusion in the EPA source profile database, SPECIATE.
