This report documents the development of the 1980 National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) Emissions Inventory. The current version of the annual inventory, Version 5.0, and the related Version 5.2 Eulerian Modeling Inventory and Version 5.3 Regional Oxidant Modeling Inventory represent the most-comprehensive, highest-quality emissions data available for the 1980 base year. The inventory spans the 48 contiguous U.S. states and 10 Canadian provinces, providing detailed point-source data for over 14,000 plants and area source information by source category for 3070 U.S. counties. Canadian area source data are reported at the province level. Emissions from 11 pollutants (SO/sub 2/, SO/sub 4/, NOx, Pb, CO, HCl, HF, NH/sub 3/, TSP, VOC, and THC) are included in the 5.0 Inventory; in the 5.2 Modeling Inventory, pollutants are disaggregated into 39 classes. Version 5.0/5.2 emissions of SO/sub 2/, NOx, and VOC are 32.1, 24.4, and 26.2 million tons/yr, respectively. Summaries of emissions data are presented at various levels of aggregation including nation, EPA region, state/province, and source category. Emissions data are also analyzed by plant size, stack height, and general source type, and emissions variations are examined on seasonal and daily bases. The Version 5 Inventory represents the last of a series of NAPAP inventory efforts for base year 1980.
