Title: PISCES Field Chemical Emissions Monitoring Project: Volume 1: Sites 103-105 emissions report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:263010

This report is one of a series sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute in the area of trace substance emissions from fossil-fuel power plants. This report presents the results of a sampling and analytical study to characterize trace substances emissions at seven electric utility plants in California-Sites 103 through 109. The sites tested consist of utility boilers sampled during both oil and natural gas-fired operation. None of the units were equipped with particulate control devices. The objective of this report is to transmit the detailed data to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist the Agency in evaluating utility trace chemical emissions as well as the associated health risk impacts-as mandated in Title III of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. This report does not attempt to compare the results with other sites. An assessment of data from all plants that have been tested is presented in the Electric Utility Trace Substances Synthesis Report (EPRI TR-104614).
