Abstract |
Atmospheric emission data is compiled for a wide variety of selected processes. One-half of the 40 processes discussed involve an updating or review of existing emission factors. Except for the combustion and incineration fields, very little new emission factor data has been made public since 1967. Frequently, material balance calculations were made. Detailed information is generally appended to each section. Whenever possible, the range or variation in emission factors is reported. All emission factors were ranked according to the available data upon which they were based. The range of values for many emission factors is large. The factors are presented in these major sections: Stationary Fuel Combustion; Refuse Disposal; Chemical Manufacturing Industries; Food and Agricultural Industry; Metallurgical Industries; Mineral Products Industry; and Organic Solvents.
