1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Air Toxics Emission Factor Compilation is available in the
accompanying hardcopy report, "Toxic Air Pollutant Emission Factors - A
Compilation for Selected Air Toxic Compounds and Sources"
(EPA-450/2-88-006a). The report includes a description of the purpose of
the project and how the data were compiled, as well as the actual emission
factor data. To facilitate printing of the data in the compilation, a data
management program was written. This guide describes how to use the data
management program to find emission factors and print reports.
The Air Toxics Emission Factor (ATEF) data management system is
intended to be a tool for rapidly locating a particular emission factor or
group of emission factors and printing the data. The emission factors have
been organized by, and may be retrieved by pollutant name, Chemical
Abstracts Services (CAS) number, industrial process description, Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) code, emission source description, or Source
Classification Code (SCC). The emission factors may also be retrieved by
any combination of pollutant name/CAS number, industrial source/SIC code,
and emission source/SCC. These options are defined and examples provided
later in this guide (Sections 6-9).
The ATEF data management system consists of four modules - emission
factor searching, report printing, emission factor editing, and emission
factor additions. Throughout this user's manual, the four modules are
referred to as (1) Search Database, (2) Print Reports, (3) Edit Information,
and (4) Add Information.
This user's manual explains the general operation of the ATEF data
management system. It provides the necessary information needed to move
between the various modules of the system and obtain emission factors in the
most timely and efficient manner. As with any computer program, the user
may need some practice to become familiar with all aspects of the ATEF data
management system. After a few sessions with the system, the user will
become knowledgeable of the database contents and procedures for retrieving
information.

-------
2.0 GETTING STARTED
This section lists the hardware and software necessary to begin using
the ATEF data management system.
2.1 SOFTWARE NEEDED
The ATEF data management system is distributed on two regular density
(360 KB) 5 1/4" diskettes, or one high density (1.2 MB) diskette. The
disk(s) contain the following files:
AIRTOX.DBF The actual database (in dBase III Plus* format)*
ATEF.EXE The ATEF data management system
ATEF-IN.BAT The installation batch file
ATEF-BU.BAT The database backup batch file
ATEF-RS.BAT The database restoration batch file
POLL.FRM A form used for report printing
SIC.FRM A form used for report printing
SQ.EXE :... A program to compact the database
USQ.EXE A program to un-compact the database
README.TXT This user's guide as a DOS file
2.2 EQUIPMENT NEEDED
Use of this database requires:
An IBM (c) Personal Computer or "compatible" machine that runs
MS-DOS (c) or PC-DOS (c) version 2.1 or more recent;
At least 320 kilobytes (KB) of free Random Access Memory (RAM);
A fixed disk with at least 5 KB of storage; and
A 5 1/4" external disk drive.
*
dBase III Plus* software is not needed because the program files have been
compiled under Clipper* Version Summer 1987.
-------
-------
3.0 INSTALLING THE ATEF DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The ATEF data management system, its accompanying database, this user's
guide, the three batch files, and the two compacting programs will be
installed in a subdirectory of your fixed disk. One of the batch files,
{ATEF-IN.BAT), will perform the database installation. Another batch file,
{ATEF-BU.BAT}, will control the compaction and storage of the database for
backup purposes. The third batch file, {ATEF-RS}, will restore the database
from a backup in the event of a system failure, such as possible power
interruptions, etc.
The disk drive of a computer is arranged in a certain hierarchy. This
may be represented as an inverted tree, and, in fact, it is often called a
tree structure. The purpose of this structure is to keep the disk
organized. Each of the modules in the structure is called a directory and
every directory has a unique name. The topmost, or controlling directory,
is called the root directory and is identified by the backslash (\) symbol.
Every directory that "sprouts" from the root directory is called a
subdirectory. The ATEF data management system is placed in a subdirectory
of the root directory. This subdirectory is named \ATEF.
To install the ATEF data management system on your computer, follow the
steps listed below. Instructions in this guide are presented by showing the
user what must be typed into the computer to produce the desired results.
The word "TYPE" will be followed by the exact words and symbols to type in.
Be sure to type exactly what is shown in each step in the examples. The
user does not need to type [Return]; instead, just press the return or enter
key.
3.1 STEPS TO INSTALL THE ATEF DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
If the database is to be installed on a fixed disk other than C:,
substitute its drive letter (i.e., D, £, F, etc.) in the following
instructions.
-------
1. Declare the current directory to be the root directory of the
fixed disk by typing the commands below:
TYPE C:
TYPE CD \
2. Insert disk 1 of your original ATEF data management system disk(s)
into drive A: (external disk drive).
3. Copy the database onto the fixed drive by typing:
TYPE RESTORE A: C: /S
and following the instructions displayed on the computer screen.
The disk files have now been copied to the \ATEF subdirectory of
the fixed disk. To finisih the installation procedure:
4. Declare the current directory to be the the ATEF subdirectory of
the fixed disk root directory by typing:
TYPE CD \ATEF
5. Install the database by typing:
TYPE ATEF-IN
3.2 BACKING UP AND RESTORING THE DATABASE
If the user has entered the commands listed above, the ATEF data
management system and associated database (along with the three batch
files), have now been installed on the fixed disk. The user should store
the original disks where they will be kept dry. The user will not need
these original disks again, unless the database has to be reinstalled due
-------
to a computer failure. If the computer does "lose" the ATEF package, the
installation procedures, as described in Section 3.1, may be repeated to
restore the ATEF data management system.
In the event that the database is lost from the disk drive, the user
will need to restore the database. Therefore, the database should be
periodically copied to an external diskette for secure storage. This
procedure is called a backup and is shown in Appendix A. The backups that
are made periodically are not designed to be used on a regular basis. These
diskettes will only be used if the ATEF data management system has been
removed. If this happens, the database may be copied back onto the
computer's fixed disk from the external diskette. This procedure is called
a restoration and instructions are presented in Appendix B.
-------
-------
4.0 EXECUTING THE ATEF DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
After the ATEF data management system has been installed onto the fixed
disk, the user can begin to work with the database as described below.
Installing the database is different from executing the program. Installing
the database is done one time to put the information on the computer. Once
installed, the program can be used by following the instructions listed
below.
To load the ATEF data management system into computer memory and begin
using the database, follow these instructions:
1. Declare the current directory to be the ATEF subdirectory of the
fixed disk by typing:
TYPE C:
TYPE CD \ATEF
2. Begin program execution by typing:
TYPE ATEF
Important Note:
The first time that the ATEF data management system is run after
installation, a considerable amount of time will be spent by the computer
building the necessary index files. Depending on the particular computer,
the process of indexing the database may take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.
Subsequent uses will not require these indexing steps.
-------
5.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section of the user's guide provides general information about the
ATEF data management system. It introduces the user to the Main Menu, helps
the user develop search strategies, and explains the use of a quick versus
an extensive search. Step-by-step instructions on how to use the database
and examples the user may work through are given in Sections 6, 7, 8, and 9.
5.1 INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL
The first screen that appears on the computer monitor is the title page
of the ATEF data management system (Figure 1). It identifies the sponsoring
agency, (Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, United States
Environmental Protection Agency), and the contractor, (Radian Corporation).
The user may press any key to proceed.
The next screen displayed is the beginning of the ATEF data management
system and called the Main Menu. From anywhere in the system, pressing the
[Esc] key will always return the user to the Main Menu. The [Esc] key also
allows the user to halt an operation, return to the Main Menu, and, if so
desired, exit the program altogether.
When any menu appears on the computer screen there are two possible
means of making a selection to begin an .operation. The first is to use the
arrow keys to move the highlight bar over the desired option and press the
[Return] key. The second is to press the key corresponding to the first
letter of the menu option. A brief explanation is displayed at the bottom
of the screen when the highlight bar is over each option.
In general, the ATEF data management system may be used as follows:
(1) search the database for the emission factors needed by using the Search
Database option; (2) if there are a reasonably limited number of matching
records as shown on the screen, they can be printed by pressing the [PrtSc]
key while in the Search Database option; and (3) if there are numerous
records, the Search option should be exited by pressing the [Esc] key,

-------
returning to the Main Menu, and selecting the Print Reports option. The
difference here is in the amount of time it takes to print out reports. If
there are only a few records (emission factors) to be printed, it will
likely be easier to print the required data while in the Search Database
option. Specific examples of these options are presented in Sections 6 and
7.
Both the Edit Information and Add Information options should only be
used when the database is to be permanently changed. The Edit Information
option allows the user to change an existing record or entry in the
database. The Add Information option lets the user add new records or
entries into the database. The ability of these two options to alter the
database requires that they be used with caution. Examples of using these
options are given in Sections 8 and 9.
5.2 MAIN MENU
The first menu screen displayed is the heart of the ATEF data
management system and .called the Main Menu (Figure 2). Every option that a
user may select to perform, (such as searching, printing, editing, or
adding), begins and ends here. The user will notice that the first option,
Search Database, is highlighted. By pressing the down arrow key on the
keyboard, the highlight bar on the screen will move to the second option,
Print Reports. By pressing the arrow key again, the highlight bar will move
to the third option and so on. The user may press the up arrow key to move
back to the first option. An option may be selected for use by pressing the
key when the highlight bar is over the desired option, or by
pressing the key corresponding to the first letter of the of the Main Menu
option (i.e., press "P" and the Print Reports option will be used).
There are five options that may be selected from the Main Menu:
1. Search the database for records that match a specified condition;
2. Print a report containing records that match a specified
condition;
3. Edit, or change, records that match a specified condition;

4. Add, or append, records to the database; or
5. Exit the program and return to DOS.
Each of these options is discussed in this user's guide.
The only way to exit the program properly is to press the [Esc] key
from the Main Menu. The user may exit the program improperly by
disconnecting the electrical power, but this is not recommended. If a user
turns off the computer or experiences a power failure while the ATEF data
management system is in operation, a database restoration may be necessary
(see Appendix B).
5.3 DEFINING THE SEARCH
When accessing information in the database for display on the screen or
printing on a printer, the first step is to define the scope of the
information search.
If there are no limitations placed on the data search process, all of
the information in the database, from the beginning to the end, will be
i
recovered. Because the database contains over 3,000 records, data search
capabilities are needed. To more quickly find only the information the user
needs, the database may be searched in the following ways:
1. By specific Pollutant Name or CAS number;
2. By specific Industrial Process or SIC code;
3. By specific Emission Source or SCC; or
4. By any combination of 1, 2, and 3.
For example, suppose the user needed to find emission factors for
ammonia from petroleum refineries. A search could be conducted by
specifying the Pollutant Name = "Ammonia" and the Industrial Process =
"Petroleum refineries." Using a combination of search terms helps the user
find the factors that are needed for petroleum refineries and avoid ones
that are not needed (i.e., ammonium nitrate production). Specific
instructions on how to conduct searches and an example are given in
Section 6.
15
-------
The ATEF data management system will also allow parts of names or
numbers to be used in a search strategy. The search string can be
truncated, or shortened. For example, if the user were interested in
emission factors for external combustion sources, all possible complete
SCC's would not need to be entered. The user could just enter the first
digit of the SCC and the system would find all the factors with the same
first digit. Similarly, a specification of Pollutant Name - "P" would find
the pollutant POM; but it would also find Phenol, Phosgene, Phosphorous,
Propadiene, Propane, Propanol, Propylene, etc.** The user may want to keep
in mind that when beginning a search, the search strategy should not be too
narrow because some emission factor:; that are actually in the database may
not be found by the system. For example, a specification of Emission
Source = "utility boilers" would nol: find the emission factor for "utility
boiler" because of the "s" in "boilers."
5.4 QUICK SEARCH AND EXTENSIVE SEARCH
The ATEF data management system is designed around two basic types of
searches:
1. Quick Search; and
2. Extensive Search.
The Quick Search allows a group of emission factors that meet the
user's defined search conditions to be found in a very short time (usually
less than five seconds). However, it may not find every possible factor.
An extensive search allows all emission factors that meet the user's defined
search conditions to be found after a longer period of time (usually one to
five minutes). The particular characteristics of each search are described
below.
**
In typing in words and phrases throughout this system, the user does not
need to capitalize. Also, the user does not need to type in hyphens or
dashes in SCC or CAS numbers.
16
-------
Quick Searches
Only looks at a selected portion of the database for the desired
information and returns it to the user very quickly.
Will only find those records whose fields begin with the specified
search string(s).
Works for numeric and alphabetic search conditions.
Extensive Search
Looks at the entire database from the beginning to the end and
returns the needed information rather slowly to user.
Will find every record whose fields contain the specified search
string(s) anywhere within them.
Works only for search conditions that are words, (i.e., pollutant
names, process names, and source names). Extensive search should
not be used if the user is searching by SIC, SCC, or CAS number.
For example, suppose the user is looking for the following record:
Field Name Value
Pollutant Name POM
Emission Source Oil-fired utility boiler
Emission Factor 0.0821 ug/bbl
If the user specified a search for Pollutant Name = "POM" and Emission
Source - "utility boiler," then a Quick Search would not find the emission
factor shown above, but an Extensive Search would. The Quick Search would
not be able ta find the record because "Oil-fired utility boiler," the value
of the Emission Source field, does not begin with "utility boiler." The
extensive search would locate this record. If, however, the user looked for
17
-------
Pollutant Name = "POM" and Emission Source = "Oil-fired utility boiler," (or
just "Oil-fired"), then both Quick Search and Extensive Search would find
the emission factor.
The report option of the ATEF data management system will find and
print only those emission factors that are normally found by Quick Search.
The particular factors that are found only during an Extensive Search will
not be found by a Quick Search and thus will not be printed by the Print
Reports option. These emission factors will only be displayed during an
Extensive Search and can only be printed by using the function while
the particular factors are displayed.
18
-------
6.0 SEARCHING THE DATABASE
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The Search Database option may be selected from the Main Menu when the
database is to be searched and no edits or additions are to be made in the
data. Once the records have been located by the ATEF data management
system, the user can either examine them sequentially in forward or reverse
order, print the record information on a printer, or return to the Main
Menu. That is, the user may:
1. Page forward to the next record;
2. Page backward to the previous record;
3. Print the information on a printer; or
4. Return to the Main Menu.
As the selection bar at the bottom of the Search screen suggests, press
the [PgDn] key to page forward to the next record, press the [PgUp] key to
page backward to the previous record, press the [PrtSc] key to print the
record information on a printer, or press the [Esc] key to return to the
Main Menu.
A message will appear at the bottom of the search screen if the
database is paged backward to the first record matching the specified search
condition(s) or if the database is paged forward to the last record matching
the specified search condition(s). The user may press any key when these
messages appear to erase them and return the selection bar to the screen.
6.2 EXAMPLES OF SEARCHING THE DATABASE
As an example of database searching, suppose the user needs to locate
all emission factors for Polycyclic Organic Matter (POM) from fireplaces
used for home heating. The following pages will step the user through this
process and display the screens that will be seen on the computer monitor.

9.0 ADDING TO THE DATABASE
9.1 INTRODUCTION
The Add Information option may be selected when a new emission factor
is to be added to the database. When new factors are added, it will be
helpful if the user will attempt to maintain consistency with the existing
database. For instance, if the database currently has the pollutant,
ammonia, listed as Pollutant Name - "Ammonia," then the user should not
enter a new record with the Pollutant Name = "ammonia" or "AMMONIA."
Consistent capitalization is necessary to ensure that the Quick Search
options works correctly.
9.2 EXAMPLES OF ADDING DATA

APPENDIX A
BACKING UP THE DATABASE
The database should be backup up (1) as soon as It has been Installed,
(2) after every session during which it has been changed, and (3) at the end
of every week. It is recommended that three sets of diskettes be used in a
rotating backup scheme. The disks should be labeled and they should be
dated every time they are used for a backup. A different set of disk(s)
should be used for successive backups until all disks have been used at
least once and thereafter the set with the oldest date should be used for

16. ABSTRACT
This report presents instructions on the Air Toxics Emission Factor data management
system. The system was designed to allow easy access and updates to the emission
factor data presented in the accompanying EPA report, Toxic Air Pollutant Emission
Factors - A Compilation For Selected Air Toxic Compounds And Source, EPA-450/2-88-
006a. This software system is an IBM PC based application that contains a listing
of emission factors categorized by pollutant name, Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS)
number, industrial process description, Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
code, emission source description, and source classification code (SCC). The program
has modules that allow users to search, add, edit, and print data.
The purpose of this report is to document the usage of the system. EPA is making
available the system and data to agency users on two regular (360KB) diskettes or one
high density (1.2 MB) diskette.
