Air Quality Research: Capabilities

Emissions Inventory and Analysis

We estimate air emissions from a wide variety of industrial process and waste management operations. We support local, state, national, and international efforts to characterize air pollutant emissions, compile emissions inventories, and forecast emission trends. Our experts develop and apply computer models and databases to estimate facility- and source-specific air emissions. In addition to estimating influences on emissions and effluents, we estimate the costs and economic impacts of regulatory compliance actions or options on a facility, a corporation, a region, or the nation.
