Volatile organic compound RACT (Reasonably Available Control Technology) sources missing from NEDS (National Emissions Data System)

Technical Report · Sun Feb 01 04:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:5930621

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is demonstrating and evaluating the use of photochemical models. These models require accurate and complete inventory data bases. To insure that all major volatile organic compound (VOC) sources are included in emission inventory data bases, and to insure that VOC emission inventories for photochemical nonattainment areas include all sources that are subject to Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT), a directory of VOC sources covered by RACT requirements has been derived independently of EPA inventory data. The National Emission Data System (NEDS) was compared against this directory to determine VOC sources missing from NEDS.
