Mathematical models describing the release rate of volatile air emissions from hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities were compiled and reviewed. Mathematical modeling techniques which predict volatile air emissions release rates from landfills, landfarms, surface impoundments, storage tanks, wastewater treatment processes, and drum handling and storage facilities were assessed. Existing field test validation efforts were also reviewed. The purpose of this report is to provide a source of current information available on this subject area. A guidance manual of practice will ultimately be prepared to assist regulatory engineers and others in applying the recommended models. Since many new papers in this area are continually being published, this selection of modeling techniques may be considered present state-of-the-art as of spring 1983. Field validation scheduled to be conducted in 1983 and 1984 under EPA and private directives should provide additional information regarding model precision.
