OSTI ID:6073070

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 phosgene. Its intended audience includes Federal, State and local air pollution personnel and others interested in locating potential emitters of phosgene in making gross estimates of air emissions therefrom. This document presents information on (1) the types of sources that may emit phosgene, (2) process variations and release points that may be expected within these sources, and (3) available emissions information indicating the potential for phosgene release into the air from each operation.
