AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors from Stationary Sources, has been published since 1972 as the primary compilation of EPA's emissions factor information. It contains emissions factors and process information for more than 200 air pollution source categories. A source category is a specific industry sector or group of similar emitting sources. The emissions factors have been developed and compiled from source test data, material balance studies, and engineering estimates. The latest emissions factors are available below on this website. Use the AP-42 Chapter webpage links below to access the document by chapter. Emission factors are being updated as data are received and evaluated.

SPECIATE is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) database of organic gas and particulate matter (PM) speciation profiles of air pollution sources, which provide the chemical composition of emissions from sources as a percentage of the total weight of PM or organic gas. Organic gas profiles may represent total organic gases (TOG), volatile organic compounds (VOC) or a variation. PM speciation profiles include data for PM of various size classes, such as PM2.5, which represents the mass of particles less than

or equal to 2.5 microns in diameter. In addition to PM and organic gas profiles, SPECIATE contains other profiles such as for nitrogen oxides, mercury and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC).

The resource includes an online browser which allows users to view detailed information about the emissions profile in tabular form or bar and pie charts, as well as downloadable databases.

Resource

Mapping tool that provides information on permitted facilities in New Jersey. The tool provides information on the reported emissions for each major and minor source, as well as current information on PM and ozone monitored air quality, and community vulnerability information.

Resource

Provides guidance for emissions estimation and downloadable spreadsheet based tools for estimating emissions from several different source categories including asphalt plants, concrete plants, combustion sources, and woodworking facilities.
