TSD-phg/12-1-97/AGAIRQU.PPT Improving Agricultural PM 10 Emission Estimates in California Dale Shimp California Air Resources Board December 1, 1997 dshimp@arb.ca.gov 916-324-7156
2
TSD-phg/12-1-97/AGAIRQU.PPT Emission Inventory n Comprehensive Estimates of Emissions from Air Pollution Sources n Point, Area, and Mobile Sources n Based on Typical Local Conditions n ARB & District Cooperative Effort n Continual Improvements
3
TSD-phg/12-1-97/AGAIRQU.PPT Estimation of Emissions n Emission Factor (EF) –Emissions per unit of activity (i.e., lbs/PM 10 per acre tilled) n Activity Data (Process Rate, PR) –Vehicle Miles Traveled, Acre-Passes n Emissions –Emissions = EF x PR
4
TSD-phg/12-1-97/AGAIRQU.PPT Particulate Matter Is... n Sand and Soil – Geologic material, dust, dirt n Soot –Combustion products, wood smoke, diesel exhaust n Secondary Particles –Formed via reactions in atmosphere of gaseous pollutants
5
TSD-phg/12-1-97/AGAIRQU.PPT Particulate Categories n TSP - Total Suspended Particulate –PM 30 : particles 30 microns of less in size; mainly composed of geologic material n PM 10 - particles 10 microns or less –Can be dominated by geologic dust particles or secondary particles n PM 2.5 - particles 2.5 microns or less –Typically combustion products & secondary PM
