Abstract |
This report presents detailed micro-inventories of traditional and nontraditional sources of particulate matter within 5-mile and 1-mile radii, respectively, of each of 10 sites in New England. The 10 sites are located in Bridgeport, Hartford, and Waterbury, Connecticut; Boston, Fall River, Springfield, and Worcester (two sites), Massachusetts; Bangor, Maine and Providence, Rhode Island. Emissions data for traditional sources (point and area) were obtained from the most recently available state inventories for the area of concern. The data reporting format is principally that of the 'Micro-inventories for TSP' draft report (T.G. Pace, U.S. EPA, Research Triangle Park, N.C.). The results of this study can be used in an evaluation of control measures, reductions in particulate matter emissions, and likely air quality improvements at the study sites. |
