Alternative control technology document: Control of VOC emissions from the application of agricultural pesticides

Technical Report · Mon Mar 01 04:00:00 EST 1993

OSTI ID:6480032

In many States, some of the ozone nonattainment areas are comprised primarily of agricultural counties where a potentially significant contribution to the ozone may result from area sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) emissions. A potential source of VOC emissions in agricultural counties is the release of organic compounds from the application of agricultural pesticides. The report provides technical information that State and local agencies can consider while developing strategies for reducing VOC emissions.
