The report gives currently available chemical data from 19 Level 1 environmental assessment studies, compiled in standard format. The data are organized within each study by the analytical technique used to generate them. Inorganic data generated by spark source mass spectroscopy (SSMS), atomic absorption (AA), gas chromatography (GC), chemiluminescence for oxides of nitrogen, anion analysis, and aqueous analysis precede organic data generated by GC for C1-C6/C7 or C7-C17, liquid chromatographic (LC) fractionation, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and low resolution mass spectroscopy (LRMS). Each study is summarized, followed by the data generated in that study. The studies are organized by industrial type: chemically active fluidized bed combustor, coal-fired boiler, coal-fired power plant, new energy source, coke production, electric arc furnace, fluidized bed combustor, home heater multi-source source, ocean incinerator, oil burner, and textile. The report documents sampling and analytical techniques that were used which are not specified in Level 1. It also includes trends and anomalies that were detected in the 19 studies.
