This introductory course is designed to provide an understanding of the process of developing an emissions inventory for stationary pollutant sources. The course is designed to provide the basic concepts to develop emissions inventories that provide a technically defensible foundation for sound public policy. In other words, in order to address your air quality issues, having basic information about the types of sources and quantities of their air emissions is essential in developing an appropriate control strategy. For example, if the data used to derive control strategies are flawed, the public policy resulting from the strategy may also be in error. These errors can be costly as the public is exposed to pollutants, the industry becomes subject to inadequate or inappropriate controls, and the environment could be damaged. The course is aimed at air quality planners, regulators, academics, industry and environmental organizations since the formulation of appropriate control strategies requires a reliable base of quality emissions estimates.

Objectives

• Discuss fundamentals of stationary source emissions inventory development
• Course is interactive where the participants discuss their particular emission inventory concerns and provide examples of the benefits of good emissions inventories
• Students will receive of the tools and information necessary to begin development of a complete point source emissions inventory at the local, regional, or national level

Participants
This event is open to everyone but is limited to a total of 25 participants.
