Improved emission factors for fugitive dust from Western surface coal mining sources. Volume 2. Emission factors

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7158779
; ; ;

The project involved the development of emission factors for operations at surface coal mines located in the western United States. Operations sampled included, but were not limited to, haul road traffic, scrapers, draglines, and blasts. Sampling techniques used included exposure profiling, upwind-downwind and wind tunnel testing. From the information, emission factors were developed which take into account such characteristics as soil moisture and silt content. The data presented in the study should aid both private industry and government agencies in evaluating emissions from coal mining operations.
