Fine particle emission profile for a large coke production facility based on highly time-resolved fence line measurements. Weitkamp, E., A., Lipsky, E., M., Pancras, P., J., Ondov, J., M., Polidori, A., Turpin, B., J., & Robinson, A., L. Atmos. Environ., 39:6719-6733, 2005. abstract bibtex This paper presents a fine particle emission profile
for a large metallurgical coke production facility. The profile is
developed from highly time-resolved, ambient air quality
measurements made at a fence line site adjacent to the plant. A
fence line approach was employed because the coke plant has
hundreds of stacks and other emission points, making it difficult
to develop an integrated, facility-wide emission profile using
stack sampling techniques. Continuous or semi-continuous
measurements of PM2.5 mass, PM10 mass, SO2, NOx, organic and
elemental carbon (OC and EC), particle size and number, I I trace
metals, wind direction and wind speed were made. Background
pollutant levels were also measured. A combination of highly
time-resolved meteorology and air quality data were used to
determine when the coke facility emissions influenced the sampling
site. Concentrations for most pollutants at the fence line site
were one to two orders of magnitude higher than background levels
when the facility plume heavily influenced the fence line site.
Highly time-resolved measurements are essential to resolve these
relatively short-duration, large spikes in pollutant
concentrations. Simply measuring wind direction is insufficient.
From these highly time-resolved measurements an average PM2.5
emission profile for the coke facility was developed. The profile
is dominated by OC (40% +/- 9% of PM2.5 mass emissions) and EC
(25% +/- 5% of PM2.5 mass emissions). Significant contributions
of certain trace metals were also observed, including As, Zn, Se,
and Pb. The particle emissions are dominated by the fine fraction,
with PM2.5 estimated to contribute 84% +/- 14% of the PM10 mass.
