Industry:Pollution control
For coatings, a measure of the percent of the total amount of coating used which is transferred to a unit surface by a spray gun or other device.
Industry:Pollution control
Federal emissions limitations based on the best demonstrated control technology or practices in similar sources to be applied to major sources emitting one or more federal hazardous air pollutants. For more information, please see our Title III website.
Industry:Pollution control
For stationary sources, the relationship between the amount of pollution produced and the amount of raw material processed or burned. For mobile sources, the relationship between the amount of pollution produced and the number of vehicle miles traveled. By using the emission factor of a pollutant and specific data regarding quantities of materials used by a given source, it is possible to compute emissions for the source. This approach is used in preparing an emissions inventory. Please also look at U. S. EPA emission factors, or ARB's emission factors and toxic air contaminants,
Industry:Pollution control
Fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas; so-called because they are the remains of ancient plant and animal life.
Industry:Pollution control
Dust particles that are introduced into the air through certain activities such as soil cultivation, or vehicles operating on open fields or dirt roadways. A subset of fugitive emissions.
Industry:Pollution control
Emissions from evaporating gasoline, which can occur during vehicle refueling, vehicle operation, and even when the vehicle is parked. Evaporative emissions can account for two-thirds of the hydrocarbon emissions from gasoline-fueled vehicles on hot summer days.
Industry:Pollution control
Emissions not caught by a capture system which are often due to equipment leaks, evaporative processes and windblown disturbances.
Industry:Pollution control
Emissions standards set by the U. S. EPA for a hazardous air pollutant, such as benzene, which may cause an increase in deaths or in serious, irreversible, or incapacitating illness. For more information, please go to our Title III website.
Industry:Pollution control
Equipment that removes grease, dirt, or unwanted materials from any part or product. Degreasers typically use aqueous or nonaqueous solvents, as liquid baths or condensing vapors, to remove such material.
