Abstract
Specified emissions limits can provide a bewildering range of criteria:
-
‘The emissions shall not exceed x mg/m3’
-
‘No more than 5% of the 48-hour averages should exceed y mg/m3 in a calendar year’
-
‘The calendar monthly average should not exceed z mg/m3’
-
‘95% of hourly averages for each rolling 24 hours should not exceed the limit value and the peak hourly value shall not exceed 1.5 times the limit value’
-
‘15-minute mean emissions shall not exceed x mg/m3 for more than 5% of the 15-minute periods of the process operation in any day and no 15-minute period shall exceed y mg/m3’
