RE: PCBs



Chun Yi,

I have quit using chemfinder for CAS numbers due to errors.

I recommend changing the CAS number to the correct one.  I will forward
this change to the emission factor group.

thanks

Anne,

Happy New Year to you too!

The CAS number, 2050-68-2, for Dichlorobiphenyl is from FIRE.  It is
also indicated in http://chemfinder.cambridgesoft.com.  If you think a
CAS number of 25512-42-9 is more appropriate, please change the CAS
number in FIRE too.

Chun Yi

Chun,

Happy New Year.

I am adding the HAPS your sent me to the NEI pollutant code list and
have some questions for you.  See the table below.  Which pollutant did
you mean to add?  You used the CAS # 2050-68-2 which is for
4,4'Dichlorobiphenyl , But you identified the PCB as dichlorobiphenyl
which has a CAS number of 25512-42-9.

thanks

I think it is better to have new codes in RAPIDS since the toxicity
profile for these congeners may be widely different.

The suggested RAPIDS codes with the same convention as PCDDs and PCDFs
are:




 CAS#            Pollutant                   Suggested RAPIDS
                                             codes

 7012-37-5       2,4,4'-Trichlorobiphenyl    TRICB,244

 2051-60-7       2-Monochlorobiphenyl        MONOCB,2

 2051-24-3       Decachlorobiphenyl          DECACB

 2050-68-2       Dichlorobiphenyl            DICB,TOT

 28655-71-2      Heptachlorobiphenyls, Total HPCB,TOT

 26601-64-9      Hexachlorobiphenyls, Total  HXCB,TOT

 25429-29-2      Pentachlorobiphenyls, Total PECB,TOT

 26914-33-0      Tetrachlorobiphenyls, Total TCB,TOT





To include emissions of these compounds in the repository database for
MN we need to have following steps:

   1. Create new RAPIDS codes
   2. Enter state or generic emission factors for them
   3. Calculate emissions
   4. Export data from RAPIDS
   5. Import data to the repository

My question is should we do all these for the 2002 EI or we start to
include them in the 2005 EI?

      Chun Yi,

      I think these are certainly emissions that fall within the scope
      of our target list and so we should take what steps are necessary
      to include them. It seems to me there are two ways to go about
      this:

      -convert these emission factors to total PCBs and estimate
      emissions on that basis
      -include the appropriate pollutant codes and map them to total
      PCBs for reporting

      My guess is that states may differ on how they’d like to do this.
      I don’t see a reason we can’t make the modifications to
      accommodate those who would like to do the second by adding RAPIDS
      codes for the congener groups to the materials table and map them
      to total PCBs for reporting. My guess is that you fall in this
      group. Would you like to take on the task of recommending a set of
      material codes for the group to consider?

      Jon

            The emission factors for PCBs are attached.  All these
            factors were created after FIRE6.23 with an EPA date of
            9/1/03.  All these emission factors are for External
            Combustion Boilers that burn Wood/Bark Waste.

                  Chun Yi,

                  Thanks for the information. I believe that it is worth
                  looking into this. We may want to find out a few
                  things. 1 What are the SCCs associated with these
                  factors?, 2) Do factors exists for total PCBs for the
                  same SCCs? 3) Do any of the states collect data on
                  these emissions or these processes?
