Quantifying automobile refinishing VOC air emissions - a methodology with estimates and forecasts
- Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, Austin, TX (United States)
Automobile refinishing coatings (referred to as paints), paint thinners, reducers, hardeners, catalysts, and cleanup solvents used during their application, contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are precursors to ground level ozone formation. Some of these painting compounds create hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) which are toxic. This paper documents the methodology, data sets, and the results of surveys (conducted in the fall of 1995) used to develop revised per capita emissions factors for estimating and forecasting the VOC air emissions from the area source category of automobile refinishing. Emissions estimates, forecasts, trends, and reasons for these trends are presented. Future emissions inventory (EI) challenges are addressed in light of data availability and information networks.
