Formula 4.066E-1*A
Notes Multiply the emission factor provided by the weight percent ash content of the fuel to obtain emission factor in lb/activity units. A= Coal ash weight percent, as fired. For example if coal ash weight is 8.2% then A=8.2. Derived factor: 38% of uncontrolled PM10-FIL factor based on particle size data for uncontrolled overfeed stokers burning bituminous/subbituminous coal in AP-42, Table 1.1-10.
