Locating and estimating air emissions from sources of polycyclic organic matter (POM)

Technical Report · Tue Sep 01 04:00:00 EDT 1987

OSTI ID:5473300

To assist groups interested in inventorying air emissions of various potentially toxic substances, EPA is preparing a series of documents such as this to compile available information on sources and emissions of these substances. This document deals specifically with polycyclical organic matter (POM). Its intended audience includes Federal, State, and local air pollution personnel and others interested in locating potential emitters of POM and in making gross estimates of air emissions therefrom. Information is presented on (1) the types of sources that may emit POM, (2) process variations and release points that may be expected within these sources, and (3) available emissions information indicating the potential for POM release into the air from each operation.
