Locating and Estimating Air Emissions from Sources of Formaldehyde (Revised)

摘要

To assist groups interested in inventorying air emissions of various potentiallytoxic substances, EPA is preparing a series of documents such as this to compile available information on sources and emissions of these substances. The document deals specifically with formaldehyde. Its intended audience includes Federal, State and local air pollution personnel and others interested in locating potential emitters of formaldehyde and in making gross estimates of air emissions therefrom. The document presents information on (1) the types of sources that may emit formaldehyde, (2) process variations and release points that may be expected within these sources, and (3) available emissions information indicating the potential for formaldehyde release into the air from each operation. The document updated a report published in 1984.
