Abstract |
The paper discusses a long range program to improve EPA's inventory methodologies for area source emissions of organic solvents. The most important input to the area source solvent inventory is national solvent usage. Therefore, a major focus of the research to date has been the analysis of potential new sources of information on solvent usage. Data sources have been identified which would improve on the estimation of national solvent use and on the distribution of solvent use to geographical regions and to various time periods. Improved methodologies for distributing national solvent emissions to the state and county level were also investigated. Three potential enhancements to the inventory methology have been identified: (1) improvement of the solvent material balance, (2) incorporation of state and local regulations into the distribution of solvents to states and counties, and (3) incorporation of consumer preference into the geographic distribution of solvent use. |
