| Abstract | The results are presented of a detailed commonwealth-wide emission inventory of particulate, sulfur oxide, hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide sources of atmospheric pollution. Using questionnaires containing raw data, 342 sources were selected for point source processing based on a minimum of 10 tons per year emissions. These sources were coded in detail and processed as point source data. Additional data on commonwealth-wide fuel usage, vehicular traffic, waste disposal, solvent evaporation, vessel traffic, aircraft activity, and sugar cane field burning were collected and processed as area sources. The report also presents a description of the task, description of the study area, definition of the grid coordinate system used, and details of the methodology employed. |
