Locating and Estimating Air Emissions from Sources of Mercury and MercuryCompounds

摘要

This document deals specifically with mercury and mercury compounds. Its intendedaudience includes Federal, State and local air pollution personnel and others interested in locating potential emitters of mercury and mercury compounds and in making gross estimates of air emissions therefrom. This document presents information on (1) the types of sources that may emit mercury and mercury compounds, (2) process variations and release points for these sources, and (3) available emissions information indicating the potential for mercury and mercury compound releases into the air from each operation.
