This page provides a description and a link to a "AP42: Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors. Volume I: Stationary Point and Area Sources" database that provides information needed when modeling exposure levels or performing exposure assessment.

Short Description

AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, has been published since 1972 as the primary compilation of EPA's emission factor information. It contains emission factors and process information for more than 200 air pollution source categories. A source category is a specific industry sector or group of similar emitting sources. The emission factors have been developed and compiled from source test data, material balance studies, and engineering estimates. The Fifth Edition of AP-42 was published in January 1995. Since then EPA has published supplements and updates to the fifteen chapters available in Volume I, Stationary Point and Area Sources.
