Description:
AN EPA/ORD Workshop on Source Emission and Ambient Air Monitoring of Mercury was held on 9/13-14/99, Bloomington, Minnesota. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the state-of-the-science in source and ambient air mercury monitoring as well as mercury monitoring research and development needs and the roles of EPA, the Department of Energy (DOE), other Federal and State agencies, and industry in addressing these needs. The workshop was open to the public and included both traditional presentations as well as interactive discussions addressing key rsearch questions and needs. This Workshop Summary Report provides a summary of 1) the state-of-the-science in source emission and ambient air mercury monitoring; 2) key issues, findings and results from the workshop, including the needs for developing total and speciated mercury CEMS; 3) policy and technical considerations and challenges associated with implementing mercury CEMs, 4) monitoring data needed to support the development of source/receptor relationships, modeling, and risk assessment, and 5) recommendations by the EPA Workshop Steering Committee for future mercury monitoring research, performance evaluations and testing.
