Residential Wood Combustion Study. Task 2A. Current and Projected Air Quality Impacts

摘要

This report focuses on the issues of future particulate air quality impact from residential wood combustion (RWC) sources in the Pacific Northwest, the basis for the projections, air resource implications and potential mitigating measures. The intent of this task is to draw together the findings from other portions of the Residential Wood Combustion Study: Task 1 (Ambient Air Quality Impact Analysis), Task 2B (Household Information Survey), and Task 3 (Wood Fuel Use Projections) (Report Nos. PB84-170570, PB84-170604, and PB84-170612). Results developed from Task 6 (Control Strategy Alternatives) and Task 5 (Wood Stove Emission Studies) are discussed within the framework of potential mitigating measures (Report Nos. PB84-170653 and PB84-170638). Current RWC particulate impacts identified as a part of this study, as well as those quantified by other Pacific Northwest aerosol studies, are presented as are air quality projection methodology and impact projection implications.
