RESEARCH AND EVALUATION OF ORGANIC HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT SOURCE EMISSION TEST METHODS

Title III of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 has increased the ne ed for well defined and tested stationary source emission sampling and analysis methods. The Methods Branch of the Air Measurements Research Division of U.S. EPA's Office of Research and Development is responsi ble for a major methods development and evaluation program intended to help fill that need. This paper summarizes recent developments from s everal of the component projects of that program. Primary emphasis is placed on status and references for methods for organic hazardous air pollutants, such as phosgene, methanol, chloroform, acetonitrile, isoc yanates, aldehydes, halogenated organics, non-halogenated organics, an d volatile organic material.
