Kosusko, Mike, P. Bhave, A. Zubrow, Y. Hsu, J. Dorn, AND F. Divita. EPA’s SPECIATE 4.4 Database:Development and Uses. Presented at 2015 Annual Internationa Emissions Inventory Conference, San Diego, CA, April 13 - 16, 2015.
Impact/Purpose:
This presentation describes the SPECIATE 4.4 database, provides specific recommendations for its use, and makes recommendations for future improvements. The International Emissions Inventory Conference audience consists of developers of emissions inventories concerned with improved data sources and accuracy of these inventories. The emissions profiles in SPECIATE allow these end users to provide more accurate information to decision makers.
Description:
SPECIATE is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)repository of volatile organic gas and particulate matter (PM) speciation profiles for air pollution sources. EPA released SPECIATE 4.4 in early 2014 and, in total, the SPECIATE 4.4 database includes 5,728 PM, VOC, total organic gases (TOG), and Other Gases profiles.
