EPA no
longer tracks air pollutant emissions with the AIRS
database and emissions data presented in this report
should be considered obsolete. The data were
extracted from AIRS on Septembers 8, 2000. Since
that time, emissions data has been removed from the
AIRS database, and there will be no further updates
or revisions. AIRS Source reports will be removed
from the AIRSDATA website during the first quarter
of 2001. |
