Procedures for preparing emissions projections

Technical Report · Mon Jul 01 04:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:6142502

The purpose of the document is to provide guidance for projecting emissions to future years. It focuses primarily on procedures for projecting how the combination of future emission controls and changes in source activity will influence future air pollution emission rates. While many of the procedures in the document can be applied to other pollutants (i.e., PM-10, SO2, and toxics), the methods are directed towards ozone precursors and carbon monoxide. Later guidance should more specifically address other pollutants. Software which incorporates the techniques outlined in the document is expected to be released in the spring of 1992. This will be accomplished by modifying the Emission Preprocessor System to include the effects of growth and controls. In the long term -- over the next three years -- EPA plans to develop a new emission preprocessor (Emissios Preprocessor Analysis Module) which will also simulate growth and control effects.
