| Abstract | The PM10 SIP Development Guideline, EPA-450/2-86-001, prepared by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recommends that both dispersion models (DM) and receptor models, primarily the Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) model, be used to determine the contributing sources. When two or more independent methods, such as DM and CMB, are used to develop estimates for the contributing sources, differences are bound to occur. The protocol consists of an eight step procedure for examining and reconciling differences in model estimates in a systematic, justifiable way. The steps outline a procedure for intercomparison of results, model refinement, recomparison, and development of final model estimates. |
