THE ANNUAL EMISSION TRENDS REPORTS
The third annual emission trends report was released in
October 1993. National Air Pollutant Emission Trends, 1900
- 1992, EPA-454/R-93-032, tracks the changes in national
emissions since passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act
Amendments. The trends reflected in this edition show the
net effect of many factors, including changes in the nation's
economy, in industrial activity, technology, consumption of
fuels, traffic, and other activities that cause air pollution. These
trends also are influenced by changes in emissions resulting
from air pollution regulation and mandatory and voluntary
emission controls.
This document presents the most recent estimates of
national and regional emissions of the criteria air pollutants.
The emissions of each pollutant are estimated for many
different source categories, which collectively account for all
anthropogenic emissions. The report presents the total
emissions from all 50 states and from each of EPA's ten regions.
Two tables (see page 2) present the summary of the national
emission estimates and the percent change in national emission
estimates for the years 1900 through 1992.
This Trends report also reflects recent improvements in
the way national and regional emissions are calculated.
Improvement in estimation methods is ongoing, and it is
expected that future reports will reflect this effort. A new
methodology was applied this year, including a more accurate
method of estimating pre- and post-1985 emissions. Data
bases, methods and models used to develop the estimates were
all enhanced. State-derived emission estimates are
incorporated, and certainyears are used for trends only, while
other years qualified as both trend and absolute indicators.
Mobile source emissions, previously underestimated, are now
reflected more accurately through applying the MobileSa
model nationally to estimate emissions from 1940 to the
present. In addition, the non-road mobile source estimates in
this year's report are based on extensive non-road survey data.
This report also includes coverage of biogenic, global
warming gas, toxic, and global emissions. Estimates for the
years 1990 through 1992 are preliminary, and final figures
(including refinements to data used to estimate emissions) will
appear in future reports. The actual format has been changed
over the previous edition as well, making the overall report
much easier to read.
The contents of the next report in this annual series,
National Air Pollutant Emission Trends, 1900-1993, EPA-
484/R-94-027, are already being assembled for publication.
Watch for news of it in the next newsletter. These reports are
also available on the CHIEF bulletin board. Fora paper copy,
please contact the Info CHIEF information line at (919) 541-
5285. For further information about the report and its contents,

AP-42 CHANGES THROUGH THE YEARS
Throughout the history of AP-42, the document has
continued to grow. The evidence we and our users are faced
with is the sheer number of pages we have to lift whenever we
use it. When the Fourth Edition was published in 1985, there
were only 888 pages covering 123 source categories. Now
with six supplements, AP-42 is at almost 2,000 pages, covering
158 source categories. As anyone who has recently ordered
the basic document and all of the supplements can tell you,
there are very few pages that have not been replaced at least
once in the improvement process, and many have been replaced
two or more times.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, a graphic
illustration of the results of our efforts to improve AP-42
may be of interest.

Figure 1. AP-42 Periodic Updates.
Figure 1 shows the number of sections that have received
major or minor revisions or are new sections. The number of
pages in a supplement are indicated at the top of the figure
box. As can be seen, the last few years mark times of major
change to this document.
Just the page and source category totals do not do justice
to the amount of work that has occurred on AP-42 over the
last several years. From the standpoint of the people that have
to support this document and of those that use it, the number
of emission factors in the document is of more importance.
About 1985, AP-42 contained about 2,100 emission factors
for five criteria pollutants. Now, AP-42 has over 7,200
emission factors for seven criteria pollutants and over 100
noncriteria pollutants.
EMISSION FACTORS IN AP-42
Number and Percentage by Pollutant
Figure 2. Pollutant Emission Factors.
The changes that have occurred in the numberof emission
factors, by pollutant, are illustrated in Figure 2. As can be
seen in the figure, there is a dramatic increase in the total
number of emission factors. There are over 3.5 times as many
emission factors in the current version of AP-42 than there
were in 1985. Of the original group of pollutants, the biggest
increase in factors was in VOCs, followed closely by
Paniculate. Big increases in the number of factors have been
caused by adding PM-10 and Noncriteria pollutants.
For three years now, we have been undertaking a cover to
cover revision of AP-42. The objectives of this extensive work
have been to add new factors and to revise and make the factor
quality ratings more consistent. We had expected that many
"A" and "B" emission factor ratings would slip, because of the
more stringent criteria that are currently being used, but this
has not happened.
(Cont. on p. 5)
Correction: p. 8 of Fall issue -
In the illustration of "Criteria Pollutant
Trends - 1983, 1992", stated units should
have been 103tons, not 106.

AP-42 EMISSION FACTORS
Figure 3. Emission Factor Ratings.
Figure 3 depicts changes that have occurred in the number
of emission factors by the factor ratings. As can be seen in the
figure the number of "A" and "B" rated emission factors has
increased since 1985 (although the proportion of "A" or"B"
factors is only about 25 percent in 1993).
Although there have been many new emission factors
added to AP-42, we know there are many instances where no
emission factors are available. Also, the number of emission
factors that should be improved is daunting. Over half of the
emission factors in AP-42 are rated "E".
Although much improvement to AP-42 has occurred over
the last several years, much more is still needed. Our goal is
to provide a document that meets the needs of its users. This
goal will be difficult to achieve in the immediate future, but
we're trying.
INFO CHIEFs MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are a few of our most frequently mentioned topics and some information on each.
The Info CHIEF help desk number is (919) 541-5285.
AP-42
A perpetual discussion at the help desk is on the
availability of AP-42. Many of you are aware that the Fifth
edition is in progress and should be available from GPO late
this year. Meanwhile, the following options apply.
1. Some supplements are still available from the
Government Printing Office (GPO) by calling (202) 783-
3238 or fax (202) 512-2250. Prices range from $8.00 to
$42.00. Call Info CHIEF for details and options.
2. All parts of AP-42 are available on the CHIEF BB.
There is even a new section called "Proposed Fifth Edition".
Downloads of draft, final, and published sections, as well
as entire supplements are available.
3. Fax CHIEF allows the caller to fax up to two sections of
AP-42 directly to his or her fax machine. Call (from a fax
machine with a handset) (919) 541-5626 or 0548 for
instructions. Note: The Fax CHIEF service had been
temporarily out of order, but is now operating again.
4. AP-42 is available on Compact Disc (CD); see below.
Air CHIEF CD-ROM
"Where can I get AP-42 on CD?" At this time, all
available copies of Air CHIEF 3.0 have been exhausted.
Version 4.0 should be available in the fall. This will be a
major upgrade containing a new search engine FOLIOฎ,
usable from the WINDOWSฎ environment.
Source Classification Codes (SCO
Lately, the number one question is, "How do I obtain a
copy of the SCC list?" Many callers are familiar with the
1990 program called AFSEF (AIRS Facility Subsystem
Source Classification Codes And Emission Factor Listing
For Criteria Air Pollutants) previously available in electronic
and paper forms. Since this is NO LONGER PUBLISHED,
the following alternatives are available.
1. The C/HEFBulletin Board (BB), located on our network
of bulletin boards (919-541-5742), has a new menu item,
"Q", which contains the SCCs. It is searchable on line and
available for download in ASCII and dbf formats.
2. Also on the CHIEF'BB under the menu item "F", "AP-
42/ EF Guidance" is the FIRE program. FIRE must be
downloaded and installed on a hard disk (15 MB required).
It allows the user to query the data base by using filters such
as SCC, CAS, SIC, etc. FIRE comes with modules for
criteria and rated toxic pollutants. Only 43 toxics are
currently rated. Other toxic factors may be found in the
XATEF2 module, also on the CHIEF BB.
3. Processes that do not have SCCs but which are still subject
to scrutiny may be discussed with Ron Ryan at (919) 541-
4330.

FROM THE EFMS CHIEF'S CORNER-
roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair ....
Robert Frost
It is not common to travel on a career path twice in a career but that is the experience I have enjoyed over the last five
months, albeit from the perspective of manager rather than staffer. While Jim Southerland was enjoying a "sabbatical" detail
to the North Carolina air pollution control agency, I travelled the emission factor "highway" as Acting Chief of the Emission
Factor And Methodologies Section here at EIB.
Some of you may recall that I started my career at EPA in the early 1980s working on emission factors and inventories
under Jim. Back then, the road seemed a little less traveled with lots of potholes and unimproved sections. My latest assignment
working on emission factors has shown me that, with the passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and the creation of
the Emission Inventory Branch led by David Mobley, the emission factor road has been widened and paved. The road is a little
better traveled now, too, with more staff and resources than were available in the early 1980s. David, Jim, the Emissions
Inventory Branch staff, and entire emission factor and inventory community should be proud of the progress made in the last
five years. The Fifth Edition of AP-42 will be out this year completing most of the remaining "miles" of an extensive effort to
upgrade our factor data bases. When I first worked on factors and inventories, the EPA staff would have been ecstatic to have
tools such as FIRE, TANKS, and the Air CHIEF CD. Emission factors and inventories have attained a new level of credibility
and support that all involved should be proud of.
However, our trip down the emission factor and inventory road has not been without some "detours". Budgets have been
reduced and are forcing us to rethink how we collect and disseminate emission factor and inventory information. Although
improved, the quality and sophistication of inventories continue to lag behind those formonitoring data and modeling methods.
More and better emission factors are needed, for many source categories and hundreds of pollutants. There are more miles to
go, but clearly we have made progress. Consider this view from someone who had the good fortune to ride a new, yet familiar,
highway for a few months.
Thanks for the opportunity, and as I squeeze back onto the crowded "freeway" of permitting again, with its "bumper-to-
bumper" issues, I will remember those of you who made my trip interesting and perhaps a little more challenging. I will also
remember how important emission factors and inventories are when I weigh into discussions of issues such as what is an
available emissions offset. I enjoyed the trip! Maybe I'll get the chance to ride the emission estimating "road" again before the
end of my career "journey". Until then, happy trails.

RUSSIAN AIR MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (RAMP)
EPA has been funded by the U. S. Agency For
International Development to work jointly with them to
conduct a multi-year effort known as the Russian Air
Management Program (RAMP). The purpose of RAMP is
to demonstrate the principles of air quality management to
Russia's Ministry Of Environmental Protection, to identify
possible improvements to their current system, and to assist
them in implementing the changes throughout Russia. The
Emission Inventory Branch's role in RAMP is to support
activities concerning preparation of emission inventories in
Russia.
In May 1993, David Misenheimer of EIB traveled to
Moscow and St. Petersburg (the former Leningrad) to provide
information on current U. S. emission factor and estimation
methodologies and to study Russia's emission inventory
practices. The Russian term for emission inventory is
"kadastr".
Russia's current emission inventory program focuses
primarily on industrial sources. Point source emission
estimates generally are prepared by the sources ("enterprises")
themselves, often with assistance from a "project institute"
(that has attributes of a trade association), a contractor, and a
research institute.
(Cont. on p. 7)
-------
(Cont. from p. 6)
The inventory for each enterprise is submitted to a local
Committee For Nature Protection, sort of an environmental
council for the city or region ("oblast"). The information is
then passed to the federal level. In October of 1993, EIB's
support contractor for the project, Radian Corporation, sent
people to Volgograd (the former Stalingrad) to further
demonstrate EPA's data bases and tools, and to begin efforts
for using EPA's emission factors to estimate emissions for
certain enterprises.
The next steps in the program were to pilot the use of
EPA methodologies and factors for sources in Volgograd; to
prepare guidance and training for estimating emissions in
Russia, incorporating applicable EPA methods; and to help
the Russians evaluate whether to revise their inventory
procedures for the entire Russian Federation. In May of 1994,
James Southerland of EIB went to Volgograd to participate
in this phase of the effort. Staff fromboth Science Applications
International Corporation and Radian Corporation provided
support for developing the point and area source inventories,
and forrelated tasks for stack testing and source improvement
strategy development. These efforts are being approached in
a comparison manner, where results of the Russian methods
are being compared with the results from U. S. methods, with
analysis then being conducted to determine the best, or
combination of best, methods to use in the future.
The end product of the immediate efforts in Volgograd
will be a modeler's data set that will interface with the next
phase of the project, technology exchange sessions in Russia
and in the United States, and with efforts to improve the
emission estimation tools used in both countries. This effort
is expected to spread over the next two years or longer.
AIR AND ENERGY ENGINEERING RESEARCH LABORATORY (AEERL)
Emissions And Modeling Branch Research Update
Development Of An Improved Model For Estimating Emissions Of Volatile Organic Compounds From Forests In The
Eastern United States
Christopher D. Geron
Regional estimates of biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions are important inputs for air quality models
such as the Urban Airshed Model And Regional Oxidant Model. Since forests are the primary emitters of BVOCs, it is
important to develop reliable estimates of their areal coverage and BVOC emission rate. A new system has been developed to
estimate these emissions for specific tree genera at hourly- and county-level resolution. The U. S. Department Of Agriculture,
Forest Service Forest Inventory And Analysis Eastwide Database is used to describe both areal extent and species composition
of U. S. forests. Growing season peak foliar masses are derived from the empirical literature for canopies of deciduous and
coniferous genera. A simple canopy model is used to adjust photosynthetically active solar radiation at five vertical levels in
the canopy. Leaf temperature and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) derived from ambient conditions above the forest
canopy are then used to drive empirical equations to estimate BVOC emission rates at discrete levels of forest canopies. These
estimates are then aggregated to regional levels for input into air quality models. The new model yields county-specific
isoprene emission rates that are up to 10 times higher (and therefore total BVOC emission rates that are up to five times
higher) than EPA's BVOC emission rate model currently used. Emission estimates of isoprene and monoterpenes from the
new model compare favorably with rates measured at various forested sites in the U. S. Comparisons between the current
Biogenics Emissions Inventory System and the new model are discussed in more detail in the article, "An Improved Model For
Estimating Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds From Forests In The Eastern United States", in the Journal Of Geophysical
Research, PP(D6):12,773-12,791.
Estimated hourly emission rates (mg-Carbon m" h" ) of isoprene (Isop), sum of monoterpenes and other volatile Organic
Compounds (M and O), and total BVOC are presented for each model for forests in four selected areas. PAR units are |jmol
m"2 sec"1.

EMISSION INVENTORY WORKSHOP SERIES
The Air And Waste Management Association (A&WMA), in cooperation with EIB, is sponsoring an ongoing series of
workshops for preparing emission estimates for facilities or other affected operations. The program will be of particular value
to industry members of A&WMA who need to know the basic requirements for emission inventories from both the regulatory
and technical point of view. The types of sources that will be addressed will center on emitting facilities, but will also include
point, area, and mobile sources. A&WMA faculty will present information on (1) reporting emission estimates to meet
regulatory requirements, (2) uses of the data for permitting strategies, and (3) compliance and business planning. The program
will also be of value to EPA and the other control agency personnel responsible for reviewing facility inventories.
The workshops will focus on:
Strategic overview of the driving forces behind emission inventory development.
Practical advice on carrying out an emission inventory.
Case study information illustrating successful programs.
The workshops will assist affected operations:
To meet regulatory requirements on contents and timeliness.
To achieve better quality emission inventories.
To increase consistency in emission inventories.
The next workshops will be conducted in Atlanta, Denver, Dallas, and Chicago on the following dates:
Atlanta - December 5-6, 1994 Dallas - February 13-14, 1995
Denver - January 9-10, 1995 Chicago - March 6-7, 1995
Subsequent workshops in this series will be announced in the calendar portion of future CHIEF newsletters. For more
information, call the A&WMA meeting registrar at (412) 232-3444 ext. 3142.

WHAT'S A CHIEF?
CHIEF is the acronym for ClearingHouse For Inventories And Emission Factors. Some of you use "CHIEF" to
refer to this CHIEF Newsletter; others think of the CHIEF Bulletin Board (BB). Info CHIEF is our help desk and
the Fax CHIEF can send you copies of your favorite sections of AP-42. Our "CHIEF'S Corner" is edited by the
Chief of the Emission Factor And Methodologies Section. Air CHIEF is our CD-ROM. Okay, so we stretched it a
bit to get to FIRE (CHIEF). That one stands for the Factor Information REtrieval System.
