Publications of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)
The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics of the U.S. EPA has developed many individual guidance manuals on how to estimate releases for different industries reporting to its Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). These manuals could also be used for reporting to the NPRI. A full list of these documents is available in the Guide for Reporting.
Locating and Estimating (L&E) Documents
To assist groups interested in preparing inventories of air emissions of various potentially toxic substances, the U.S. EPA Office of Air Quality and Planning Standards has prepared a series of L&E documents that compile available information on sources and emissions of these substances. A full list of documents in this series is listed in the Guide for Reporting. The documents that are relevant to the substances and activities discussed in this Supplementary Guide are listed below. These documents can be downloaded from the U.S. EPAWeb site at
www.epa.gov/ttnchie1/le/index.html
EPA Document Number | Substance / Title | Publication Date |
---|---|---|
454/R-97-003 | Dioxins and Furans | May 1997 |
454/R-97-012 | Mercury (Part A, B, C) | December 1997 |
Other Guidance Documents
The U.S. EPA has prepared a document to assist facilities in reporting dioxin and dioxin-like compounds to the TRI, entitled Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act - Section 313: Guidance for Reporting Toxic Chemicals within the Dioxin and Dioxin-like Compounds Category, Draft May, 2000. The guide can be downloaded from the TRI Web site at www.epa.gov/tri/. Note that the reporting of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds to the TRI is not in units of TEQ.
Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-42)
The Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, AP-42, Volume 1, 5th Edition, contains information on more than 200 stationary source categories. This information includes brief descriptions of processes used, potential sources of air emissions from the processes and, in many cases, common methods used to control these air emissions. Methodologies for estimating the quantity of pollutant emissions to air are presented in the form of emission factors. The sections of Chapter 2 that are relevant to the activities discussed in this Supplementary Guide are listed below. These sections can be downloaded from the U.S. EPAWeb site at www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ap42/.
