Abstract |
The manual describes, in detail, procedures for obtaining and codifying information about air pollutant emissions from stationary and mobile sources. Automatic data processing, charts, and maps are discussed as presentation techniques, and a step-by-step description of data acquisition is provided. The system has been developed specifically for use by state and local air pollution control agencies. A uniform coding system for the data is encouraged. Detailed procedures are given concerning the information to be gathered from each source, the methods to be used to gather the information, the codes to be used to simplify the information on standard coding forms, the geographical and population information needed about the area of interest, the apportionment techniques and emission factors needed, and the methods of displaying the data.
