A 10 day study conducted in the New York Metropolitan area to characterize the sulfur oxides emissions from four packaged boilers is described. Emission rates were recorded for sulfur dioxide, total sulfate, and particulate matter. Results indicated that sulfates constitute about 13.4% of the total SOx emitted in New York City. On the basis of emissions data from this study, it is estimated that industrial, commercial, and institutional oil-fired boilers contribute about 57% of the total sulfate emissions in the New York City area.
