"This report presents a review and analysis of the information and data available in the public domain on organic emissions from the ferrous metallurgy industry, specifically the iron and steel, iron foundry, and ferroalloy industries. Emission sources and information gaps are identified and credibility ratings of organic emissions data are reported. Organic emission factors for various source categories in these industries are compiled. The content of this report, which reflects accurately the present state of knowledge about organic emissions in the iron and steel, iron foundry, and ferroalloy industries, may be used as a guide to plan and direct programs for further studies, particularly a program to characterize more precisely those classes of organic species (comprising the volatile organic compound category) that are released from the potential sources identified." |
