RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series. These nine broad cate-
gories were established to facilitate further development and application of en-
vironmental technology. Elimination of traditional grouping was consciously
planned to foster technology transfer and a maximum interface in related fields.
The nine series are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
6. Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
7. Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
8. "Special" Reports
9. Miscellaneous Reports
This report has been assigned to the INTERAGENCY ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT series. Reports in this series result from the
effort funded under the 17-agency Federal Energy/Environment Research and
Development Program. These studies relate to EPA's mission to protect the public
health and welfare from adverse effects of pollutants associated with energy sys-
tems. The goal of the Program is to assure the rapid development of domestic
energy supplies in an environmentally-compatible manner by providing the nec-
essary environmental data and control technology. Investigations include analy-
ses of the transport of energy-related pollutants and their health and ecological
effects; assessments of, and development of, control technologies for energy
systems; and integrated assessments of a wide range of energy-related environ-
mental issues.

SECTION 1.0
INTRODUCTION
The Fine Particle Emissions Information System (FPEIS) is a computerized
data base which contains information on primary fine particle emissions from
stationary sources. The purpose of the FPEIS is to provide a centralized
source of fine particle sizing data for use by engineers and scientists en-
gaged in particulate control technology development and in the environmental
assessment of energy and industrial processes. Following several months of
testing and development, the FPEIS was declared operational in January 1977 and
has since become a source of particle sizing data routinely used by various
offices of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), contractors, and others.
In May 1979, the first FPEIS Annual Report was published. It reviewed
and discussed data base activities in 1978. The purpose of this annual report
is to describe the changes made to the FPEIS during 1979 and to outline plans
for further development of the FPEIS data base in 1980.
1.1 ORIGIN OF THE FPEIS
To describe the evolution of the FPEIS to its present form, it is neces-
sary to examine briefly its origin. Development of the FPEIS was initiated in
early 1975 principally to update the Fine Particle Emissions Inventory (1)
which had been developed by Midwest Research Institute (MRI) for EPA in 1971.
In the years following publication of the Fine Particle Emissions Inventory,
several questions had been raised about the validity of the data since there
were limitations in the then-existing sampling techniques. Advances in par-
ticle sizing measurement technology and growth in fine particle sampling ac-
tivities prompted EPA's Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory at
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (IERL/RTP) to initiate a comprehensive
revision of the MRI Fine Particle Emissions Inventory.
Early in the inventory revision work, the decision was made to develop a
computerized inventory; thus, the concept of the FPEIS was born. In addition
to fine particle sizing data, the FPEIS was designed to contain a broad, yet
comprehensive description of the entire sampling activity. This description
included source process information, control device characteristics, discus-
sion of the sampling equipment or methods used to collect the data, and the
-------
results of any physical, chemical, or biological analyses performed on the
collected samples. Such data enabled the user to evaluate more effectively
the emissions data relative to specific user objectives. For orderly and
rapid retrieval of information and for compatibility with other EPA data
bases, the FPEIS used the same source categorization scheme as was used in the
National Emissions Data System (NEDS) (i.e., the Source Classification Codes)
(2). Also, the FPEIS utilized the SAROAD/SOTDAT (3) pollutant codes to de-
scribe the chemical species identified. In addition, a standard protocol for
terminology and units was established for selected data not addressed by other
existing data systems to be stored in the FPEIS. This protocol has since been
modified to reflect changes in user requirements.
During the past 4 years, extensive documentation on the FPEIS has been
issued to the data base user community. The first set of documents, which
included the FPEIS User Guide (4) and the FPEIS Reference Manual (5), was
published in June 1976. That first edition of the documentation, which de-
scribed in detail the use of the FPEIS, was widely distributed. A second
edition that completely replaced the first one was published in June 1978 and
received even wider interest and distribution.
From the time that the FPEIS became operational in January 1977 and
through December 1979, the FPEIS has experienced steady growth in the number
and diversity of its users and in the quantity of information stored. Re-
quests for information from researchers, academicians, and others have num-
bered in excess of 10 per month for the last 3 years. In those 36 months, the
number of site tests reported has tripled, and the number of sampling runs has
increased substantially. This increase reflects the growth of R&D interest in
fine particle emissions and their control. Indications are that this growth
will continue as environmental considerations related to particle sizing
evolve into regulations.
1.2 ORIGINAL FPEIS DATA BASE STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION
The basic FPEIS data set may be defined as a group of discrete sampling
events which describes fine particle sizing activities on a single particle-
laden gas stream at a specified site and for a specified period of time. This
data set is called a test series. Each FPEIS test series is identified by a
unique test series number by which it may be referenced in the data base. In
the most basic sense, the test series describes a site test. Consideration of
the time period of the testing is imposed to differentiate among separate
tests at the same site.
The fundamental unit of the data structure is the test run, which de-
scribes a single, discrete sampling event with a specified measurement instru-
ment or technique. Since it is commonplace to group data according to the
-------
sampling location, e.g., control device inlet or outlet, or according to var-
iations in process conditions, the test runs are grouped into test subseries.
This provides a more orderly sorting or retrieval of data. The designation of
a test subseries may vary among test series and is left to the discretion of
the encoder of the data. The structure of the FPEIS as it was originally con-
ceptualized is given in Figure 1.1, which shows the groups of data types by
structural level.
Originally, the FPEIS data were grouped in five general categories, as
shown in Table 1.1. These categories included source characteristics and test
series information; control system description; process characteristics; bio-
logical, physical, and chemical analyses; and particle size measurement equip-
ment and data. Table 1.1 also identifies the specific data elements contained
in each group of data when the data base was established. Many of the original
data elements have since been changed or deleted, and other data elements have
been added as the FPEIS has evolved.
1.3 REVISED FPEIS DATA BASE
The FPEIS was intended to provide a central source of -fine particle size
distribution data for use by engineers and scientists engaged in particulate
control technology development and in the environmental assessment of energy
systems and industrial processes. Even though the FPEIS is only 3 years old,
it has been extremely well received by the user community. This acceptance of
the importance of the FPEIS led to a desire on the part of EPA and other users
for similar data bases covering solid, liquid, and gaseous emissions.
With FPEIS as the model, the Environmental Assessment Data Systems (EADS)
were developed as a group of independent, computerized data bases interlinked
to provide common accessibility to data produced by a variety of EPA projects.
The FPEIS, of course, was the first of the data bases in EADS. The others are
the Gaseous Emissions Data System (9) (GEDS), the Liquid Effluents Data System
(10) (LEDS), and the Solid Discharge Data System (11) (SDDS). The FPEIS was
used as a basic model for the other data bases, but its structural organization,
designed as it was for fine particle emissions data, was not flexible enough
to handle in a proper manner data expected for the other data systems. Since
all of the data bases in EADS were to be interlinked, a major restructuring of
FPEIS was performed rather than trying to force the other data base systems
into the FPEIS structure. The restructuring was accomplished in 1979.
The EADS/FPEIS structure consists of four levels: test series, effluent
stream design, test operating, and the sample, as shown in Figure 1.2. The
test series level, the uppermost level when taken in its broadest contest,
designates the sampling activities performed at a single site over a specified
period of time. Next is the effluent stream design level where each stream
that has been sampled is fully described with regard to the stream and

control device design parameters. The test operating level is where the
source operating conditions are defined along with a complete characterization
of the fuels and feedstocks used. The last level of the revised EADS/FPEIS
structure is the sample level, which details each discrete sample with
complete physical, chemical, radionuclide, and bioassay analysis data.
As shown in Table 1.2, the present FPEIS organization is based on four
levels instead of three. The fourth level reports comprehensive analytical
data including laboratory quality assurance and quality control information.
With the addition of the fourth level, the FPEIS now contains data with a
much greater degree of comprehensiveness and descriptiveness. This added
detail reflects an increased need by the user community for complete character-
ization of the aerosol. The rationale behind these changes and the specifics
of each change are discussed in Section 2 of this report.
Another edition of the FPEIS documentation, superceding all previous
documentation, will be issued in May 1980. The key documents are the EADS:
FPEIS User Guide (6), EADS: Systems Overview Manual (7), and the EADS:
Terminology Reference Manual (8). A number of the March 1980 documents were
published in loose-leaf notebooks and have been issued to selected routine
users on a numbered basis. These registered copies will be updated auto-
matically as changes in the data base documentation are implemented. This
procedure ensures that routine users of the FPEIS will have access to current
documentation. Other users will receive updates through a quarterly publica-
tion, the first of which will be issued in the summer of 1980.
1.4 FPEIS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
The FPEIS brochure, which has been an effective means of introducing
the FPEIS to the public, was updated in May 1979. The introductory brochure
was prepared for distribution at the Air Pollution Control Association
Annual Meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio, in June 1979 and at numerous other
meetings and symposia. A technical paper on the FPEIS was presented to the
APCA Annual Meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio which summarized recent additions
and changes to the FPEIS.
Several EADS user symposia and training seminars were conducted this
year for EPA contractors and for other organizations considering using the
FPEIS. The 2-day symposia outlined the purpose of the data base, how to
use it, data base structure and organization, and encoding instructions for
the EADS multimedia waste stream data bases. In the training seminars, an
FPEIS case study of a coal-fired utility boiler was used as an example for
encoding practice. Symposia were held in Research Triangle Park, North
Carolina in August; and in Long Beach, California; Palo Alto, California;
and Cincinnati, Ohio; all in October 1979. The people who attended the
symposia represented a wide variety of interests, including EPA personnel
and private industry.

DATA BASE MODIFICATIONS
In 1978, only minor modifications of the FPEIS data base were implemented;
for the most part, these changes were designed to increase its usability. The
data base structure and the organization of the data within that structure
were not affected. In 1979, however, major restructuring and redefining of
the FPEIS data base were undertaken. Such a complete overhaul of FPEIS had
not been anticipated and was not the result of any flaw in the system. On the
contrary, the need to restructure FPEIS was due in large part to its success.
The most fundamental modification in the FPEIS was the organization of
the data into four structural levels instead of three. The concept of test
series, subseries, and run levels, as used in the FPEIS until 1979, is fully
explained in the User Guide (4). Organization of data within these levels was
more than sufficient for fine particle emissions studies, but such a structure
put undesired restrictions on the handling of solid waste, gaseous emissions,
or liquid effluent data. So, a more flexible four-level structure was adopted:
the test series level; the stream design level; the test operating level; and
the sample level.
The main difference between the restructured FPEIS and the old FPEIS is
that the data on control device characteristics are no longer at the test
series level. Instead, the stream design and test operating levels replace
the old subseries level, and the control device characteristics have been
moved to the stream design level. This move of the control device data to a
lower level gives the new FPEIS its increased flexibility, since now one test
series can include data taken on many effluent streams with many different
control devices. Under the old structure, multiple test series would have had
to be defined for one source if more than one effluent stream with different
control devices were monitored. With the restructured FPEIS, the source, not
the effluent stream or the control devices, determines the designation of a
new test series.
The shift of the control device data to a lower level is not the only or-
ganizational change. The test data that were considered appropriate for the
subseries level in the old FPEIS are now divided among stream design, test
operating, and sample levels, while the data which were reported at the run
10
-------
level are now entered at the sample level. In addition, data taken under the
EPA Level 1 Environmental Assessment protocol are now more easily handled by
the data base.
Figure 2.1 shows in a general way how data element groupings in the old
data base have been accounted for in the restructured FPEIS. A more detailed
discussion of the shifting and redefining of the FPEIS data elements follows.
As shown in Figure 2.1, data group A, Source Characteristics, which was
formerly at the test series level, is data group A, Source Description, at the
new test series level. Not just the name of the data group changed, however.
The Source Classification Codes (SCC) are no longer used to characterize the
source. Instead, more usable standard nomenclature has been adopted with the
result that the coding of data should be much easier and more uniform. Along
with the change in the use of standard nomenclature, several of the data ele-
ments were modified. Table 2.1 shows the new data elements of data group A,
Source Description. For each new data element listed, the old data elements,
if any, are given.
As can be seen from Table 2.1, the new data elements offer a more complete
description of the source and how the data were gathered. Two elements in the
old data base were dropped. Operating mode class (SCC IV) was no longer useful
in characterizing the source, while UTM zone location and coordinates were
seldom entered by users and thus were deemed no longer important. Regarding
UTM, the nature of the R&D mission places far greater emphasize emissions from
generic process sources than on the location of a specific process. That is
to say, R&D has a broader scope in mind by looking at industry as a whole
rather than individual sites.
Data group B, Test Series Remarks, remains unchanged at the test series
level.
As mentioned, the data elements used to describe the control device char-
acteristics were moved in the new FPEIS from the test series level to the ef-
fluent stream design level. Table 2.2 shows the data elements belonging to the
new data group D, with the corresponding old elements.
As is shown in Figure 2.1, some of the data elements originally belonging
to data group D, Test Characteristics, at the subseries level were moved to
data group C, Stream Characteristics, at the effluent stream design level.
Table 2.3 lists those data elements belonging to the new data group C, with the
corresponding old elements.
Most of the remaining data elements of the old group D have been put into
data group E, Test Identification, at the test operating level. Table 2.4
lists the data elements belonging to data group E and the corresponding old
data elements, if any.

The original FFEIS data base contained only a few data elements related
to feed material and its chemical and physical properties, including feed ma-
terial and its composition, front half and total mass concentration, resistiv-
ity, chemical entry code, chemical analysis method and ID, concentration in
filter/total, and concentration in ranges 1 through 8. These elements were
contained in data groups D, E, F, and H at the subseries level. The new FPEIS
contains these data elements, along with many more. For example, Table 2.5
lists the data elements belonging to F, Fuels and Feedstocks, at the test
operating level. Almost all of these data elements are new and contain more
information than the old FPEIS could handle.
More chemical and physical properties are contained in data groups K,
Component, and L, Inorganic Analysis/Nonlevel 1 Organic Analysis. Table 2-6
lists the data elements belonging to data group K, and Table 2.7 lists the data
elements of data group L. Both data groups belong to the sample level of the
new FPEIS and contain virtually all new data elements.
Three new data groups have been added to the sample level of FPEIS. Data
group M includes data elements related to the EPA Level '1 Organic Analysis
protocol, and data group R contains radionuclide information. These data
elements are shown in Tables 2.8 and 2.9, respectively. The old FPEIS con-
tained a data group G at the subseries level, which was to contain bioassay
information but which never had data elements defined. The new FPEIS contains
newly defined data elements related to bioassay information in data group T.
These elements are listed in Table 2.10.
Most of the data elements belonging to data groups I, Measurement Par-
ticulars, and J, Particulate Size Distribution, of the run level in the old
FPEIS have been moved to data group H of the sample level in the new FPEIS.
In addition, four elements which had been located at the old subseries level—
percent isokinetic sampling, density, density determination, and gas analysis
and trace gas composition—are also now found in data group H of the data
base. Table 2.11 lists the data elements which made up this data group.
As discussed, the new FPEIS data base is more comprehenisve in its des-
cription of the source and the control and measurement devices and techniques,
and in its handling of the data from the various possible physical and chemical
analyses. It is more flexible because it is now source-specific and no longer
requires a new test series for each new stream from the same source. The new
EADS/FPEIS is expected to be even more valuable to the user community than its
predecessor because, with its new structure, it is compatible with the other
data bases which now make up the EADS.

SECTION 3.0
1979 DATA ADDITIONS
The FPEIS data base continued growing in 1979; 46 new test series were
added to the 120 already contained in the system, a 38% increase. The number
of individual test measurements or runs increased; 914 runs were added to the
original 1,907 runs, representing an increase of 48%. The data additions
listed throughout this section pertain to test data submitted for permanent
entry to FPEIS in 1979. The frequency of occurrence is given for each value.
The number of test series or runs and the data sources indicate that
energy systems source testing was the predominant source of data added to FPEIS
in 1979. This is shown in Table 3.1 and 3.2, the Source Category and Type of
Operation data base entries for 1979. Of the new entries, electricity generation
represented the most frequent operation. The 1979 data acquisitions also
included 12 Feed Material Class entries, and 15 Operating Mode Class additions.
These new entries are shown in Table 3.3 and 3.4, respectively.
Table 3.5 shows that the particulate control equipment data entries were
mostly concerned with conventional control devices (mechanical collectors,
fabric filters, scrubbers, and electrostatic precipitators (ESPs)); however,
several experimental devices were reported. The new entries for Control De-
vice Category and Control Device Commercial Name are listed in Tables 3.6 and
3.7, respectively. The variety of control device information entered in FPEIS
in 1979 indicates there are no obvious trends in the types of control equip-
ment applied to specific types of fine particle emission sources.
Table 3.8 lists the 14 Measurement Instrument/Method Names that were
among the data acquired last year. The variety of instruments listed does not
reflect the 622% increase in the amount of chemical data added to FPEIS
primarily due to the extensive analytical results reported in EPA EA Level 1
testing performed with SASS train sampling systems. The amount of chemical
data grew tremendously. As shown in Table 3.9, 1,580 chemical species were
reported with information on 42 new and different chemical species.

SECTION 4.0
FPEIS DATA BASE SUMMARY
The FPEIS has evolved into the most comprehenisve and authoritative
source of stationary source particle sizing emissions data available today.
As of December 31, 1979, the FPEIS data base contained information on 165 test
activities (test series) and 2,821 individual test measurements (test runs).
The amount of information the FPEIS now includes on sources, control devices,
sampling and analysis methods, and particulate and chemical analyses is of
sufficient variety for the FPEIS data base to be a valuable resource for fine
particle technology research. As an example of the variety in the FPEIS,
there are 6 specific Source Categories and 17 Types of Operation, as listed in
Tables 4.1 and 4.2, respectively. Thirty-six different Feed Material Classes
and 46 Operating Mode Classes are reported in FPEIS. These are given in Table
4.3 and 4.4, respectively. Information on many control devices is stored in
the FPEIS; for instance, data on several Control Device Clases, 47 Control
Device Categories, and 45 Control Device Commercial Names, as shown in Tables
4.5, 4.6, and 4.7, respectively. In addition, 26 different Measurement/Methods
are included in the FPEIS as shown in Table 4.8. Information on 77 different
chemical species can be found in the FPEIS, and they are listed in Table 4.9.
A summary of the contents of the FPEIS data base as of December 31, 1979,
is provided in the Appendix. As new test data are added to the FPEIS, the
data base will be updated.
The prime objective of the FPEIS from its inception was to provide a cur-
rent and accurate emissions data base. Since it is now a requirement for EPA
IERL/ RTF contractors performing fine particle emissions testing to submit
their data findings to the FPEIS, the growth of the FPEIS is expected to
continue at a steady rate.

SECTION 5.0
PLANS FOR 1980
5.1 DATA ACQUISITION
It is expected that the FPEIS will maintain a steady growth record during
1980 in terms of the number of sites tested and the number of samples taken
per site. Since June 1978, all new IERL/RTP projects which involve particle
sampling have been required to encode and enter the results from those tests
into the FPEIS data base. As these projects become active, data from them
will be entered routinely into the data base. Additionally, in 1980 valuable
data from the ongoing IERL/RTP Environmental Assessment sampling programs will
be received for entry into the FPEIS.
Data acquisition is not expected to be limited to IERL/RTP testing pro-
grams. In support of an inhalable particulate (IP) standard development, the
EPA's Office of Research and Development (OR&D) has undertaken a program to
provide emission factors for inhalable particles. Revisions to the particulate
standard reflect the need for new particle size data which will be provided to
FPEIS from OR&D's IP sampling programs. It is expected that FPEIS will be
utilized to aid OR&D personnel in setting priorities for IP sampling programs.
In addition to IP data, source testing data from IERL/ Cincinnati will be
submitted to the FPEIS.
Some carryover work from 1979 will provide a substantial quantity of fine
particle sizing data collected by the State of California Air Resources Board.
Data will be sought from environmental agencies in many other states.
Since the FPEIS has been restructured and reorganized, radionuclide and
bioassay results are expected to be reported. The EPA's Office of Radiation
Programs will provide for the FPEIS airborne radon and radioactive particulate
emissions source testing data. The general purpose of the field test program
is to gather background information pertaining to the quantities of naturally
occurring radionuclides discharged to the environment from various mining
operations. Plans to acquire these data in 1980 are being developed.
5.2 DATA BASE MODIFICATIONS
With the development and implementation of the EADS during 1979, the
FPEIS underwent major revisions to render the fine particle data system
36
-------
compatible with the other waste stream data systems. Since the FPEIS has been
recently revised, most of the data base modifications will be minor and involve
the addition of new data elements for which no data have been reported to
date. A new data grouping is expected to be added detailing process stream
operating conditions.
5.2.1 Process Stream Operating Characteristics
This data grouping will contain additional parameters relating to source
process conditions, including the source operating mode and rate, as well as
identification of the operating parameters and values. Typical process oper-
ating characteristics such as flow rate, temperature, pressure, etc., will be
provided. These data will enable users to evaluate any effect process oper-
ating conditions may have on the fine particle emissions generated by the
source.
5.3 FPEIS DATA RETROFIT
The task is to convert the existing data found in the old FPEIS format to
the new EADS/FPEIS data organization. EADS software will be developed for the
data conversion.
There will be several steps required to complete this retrofit. Initially,
the data elements compatible with the new format must be identified and entered
directly. Then, the incompatible data must be manually input into the new
format. In most cases, the incompatible data cannot be directly submitted to
the EADS/FPEIS format because of data input format differences. The last step
in the data conversion will be to complete null data elements, most of which
occur because certain data were not previously reported in FPEIS that are now
included in the EADS/FPEIS. Most of these null data items are included in the
old FPEIS but are now presented in much more detail in the EADS/FPEIS.
The FPEIS data retrofit procedure will probably begin with the most
recent data acquisitions entered into the FPEIS and work backwards toward the
early data. The lastest sets of data are expected to be determined with the
more recent sampling and anlaysis state-of-the-art procedures and protocols.
The prospect of procuring null data is anticipated to be greater with the
later test series.
5.4 TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
As the FPEIS grows in scope and use, the need to maintain a well-informed
user community grows as well. The major revision of the FPEIS documentation
(EADS/FPEIS User Guide, EADS Terminology Reference Manual, and EADS Systems
Overview Manual) is scheduled for completion for the spring of 1980. Holders
37
-------
of registered documentation will receive documentation changes and data updates
automatically. Other users or interested parties will be notified by way of a
quarterly update publication.
The first quarterly update issue has been scheduled for late summer or
early fall of 1980. Each issue xiill describe changes or enhancements to the
FPEIS since the previous one. Also, new data additions will be described and
any new publications will be announced. It is hoped that these quarterly up-
dates will provide a forum for comments and suggestions by the user community,
as well as a means of informing the users of new developments.
Some special reports, brochures, etc., will be prepared as needed. A new
FPEIS brochure will be prepared in the spring of 1980. As noted previously,
the brochure has been a very effective means of introducing the FPEIS to the
public.
5.5 NEW USER SOFTWARE
A cascade impactor data reduction system (CIDRS), originally developed by
Southern Research Institute (12), has been adapted to perform particle size
distribution calculations with data retrieved from the FPEIS data base. The
CIDRS software, as shown in Figure 5.1, will be implemented by the summer of
1980. The overall system incorporates five programs: MPPROG, SPLIN1, STATIS,
PENTRA, and GRAPH. CIDRS currently is designed to work only with cascade im-
pactor data; however, it will be modified to include data from cyclones (SASS
train).
Raw data on sampling conditions and impactor stage weights are entered
into MPPROG to calculate the particle size distribution using the D50 analysis
method. Those calculations are then stored in the FPEIS data base, as shown
in Figure 5.1. Details on the data requirements can be found in the CIDRS
manual by Southern Research Institute (13).
SPLIN1 is a curve fitting program used for plotting cumulative mass dis-
tributions. A special subroutine has been developed and incorporated into
CIDRS that allows extrapolation of particle concentrations and sizes through
the inhalable size range. STATIS average data from multiple impactor runs
under common conditions and performs statistical computations. PENTRA cal-
culates the control device fractional efficiency curve by selecting a pair
(i.e., inlet and outlet) of individual impactor runs. The GRAPH program
produces cumulative distribution graphs.

i6. ABSTRACT Tne rep0rt is tne second annual report on the Fine Particle Emissions
Information System (FPEIS), a computerized data base on primary fine particle
emissions from stationary sources. The report summarizes new data added to the
FPEIS during 1979 and outlines objectives for 1980 including the emergence of the
Environmental Assessment Data Systems (EADS). The FPEIS provides a central-
ized inventory of fine particle measurement information for researchers engaged in
fine particle control technology development and in the environmental assessment of
energy and industrial processes. The first (1978) annual report on FPEIS reported
120 test sites in the data base. By the end of 1979, 47 new test sites had been added
to the data base and the total of sampling runs had increased to over 2800.
