Abstract
Fossil fuel (i.e., coal, oil, natural gas) combustion generates a variety of organic HAPs and a number of toxic metals (e.g., mercury, chromium, arsenic). This paper summarizes an effort undertaken to develop an inventory of HAP emissions from these boilers. Several approaches toward developing and utilizing suitable emission factors are examined, and a HAP inventory is presented that is based on the most current, comprehensive, and quality assured test data available. Analyses are presented that compared results and assess the significance of emissions estimates based on the various approaches examined.
