OSTI ID:6245655

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