U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Fugitive VOC emission factors are from spreadsheet analysis by J. Stelling, Radian Corporation. Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Emission estimates for equipment leaks of VOC (fugitive emissions) are presented in this listing as lb/yr. To have an emissions estimate generated automatically, a production rate of unity should be used for the SCCs involving fugitive emissions from organic chemical process units.
