Air Pollution from Ordnance Detonation

I don't know if anyone here would be interested (I don't usually visit this subforum), but the EPA has just proposed a set of draft air pollution emission factors for ordnance detonation.

Specifically, they have documents on:
Small Cartridges < 30 mm
Medium Cartridges 30-75 mm
Large Cartridges > 75 mm
Projectiles, Canisters, and Charges
Grenades
Rockets, Rocket Motors, and Igniters
Mines and Smoke Pots
Signals and Simulators
Blasting Caps, Demolition Charges, and Detonators


, and in the future will also publish:
Fuses and Primers
Guided Missiles


These documents are not used to regulate controls on the source categories; rather, they are used in order to obtain an overall picture of air pollution sources, so that the "large" and "easy to control" categories can be identified, either on a nationwide or local level.

The PDFs are available on this page: EPA | AP 42, Fifth Edition, Volume I Chapter 15: Ordnance Detonation | Technology Transfer Network | Clearinghouse for Inventories & Emissions Factors
