This report presents a data set which has been developed for use in determining the relative contribution of all sources to the air pollution burden of an area. Estimates of coal, oil, natural gas, liquified petroleum gas, and gasoline and diesel fuel use by low-elevation, dispersed sources in 1975 have been computed for Roane County, Tennessee. Similar data have been obtained for the major industrial and commercial point sources within the county. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission factors for 1975 were used to calculate the annual average emission rates for SO/sub 2/, CO, NO/sub 2/, hydrocarbons, and suspended particulates from all of these sources. Hourly meteorological data were used to construct a joint frequency distribution of wind direction by stability class for two heights on the meteorological tower for 1975. Annual average SO/sub 2/ concentrations from nine monitoring stations and annual average suspended particulate concentrations from three monitoring stations are also presented. Included in the report is a discussion of how these data were obtained.
