Description

This project was performed with the cooperation of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to develop updated air toxics emission factors for petroleum industry combustion sources. The emission factors developed in this project will be integrated into a larger database being developed by CARB called the California Air Toxics Emission Factor (CATEF) database. They also may be used by petroleum industry environmental, health, and safety engineers to develop air toxics emissions inventories to comply with state and federal requirements. In addition, these emission factors provide an improved scientific basis for technical and policy decision-making related to the development of new environmental regulations such as federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for petroleum industry sources.

California Assembly Bill 2588 (AEl2588), entitled the Air Toxics “Hot Spots ” Information and Assessment Act of 1987, requires facilities to provide an inventory of their air emissions for the purpose of assessing the potential health risk to communities surrounding such facilities. Source testing to characterize air toxics emissions is required when recognized emission factors or reliable engineering estimating techniques do not exist, The results of the source testing performed to comply with AB2588 were used to develop emission factors, which relate the quantity of emissions of a substance to a process-related rate.
