Bay Area air pollution control

In areas where photochemical air pollution is a serious problem, the olefins and other more reactive hydrocarbons are major concerns rather than just with the total organic emissions. Using factors mainly derived by the Bay Area Air Pollution Control District in San Francisco (5), the total emissions of organic materials have been broken down to give an estimate of the reactive hydrocarbon emissions. About one-third, or about 27 X 10 tons, are considered reactive out of the 88 X 10 total tons of organic materials over half of the estimated reactive emissions result from automobile emissions.

In April of 1970 a source test of the 600-foot stack was carried out by the Bay Area Air Pollution Control District (I). The results which were given in Ibs/day are presented in Table II normalized to As to make meaningful comparisons with the diurnal data of this experiment. The qualitative agreement between stack and ambient air data further implicates the smelter as the source of the episodes on these three days.
