|
Benzene
|
|
| Residential Wood Heating: Woodstoves - conventional (4%) |
| Municipal Landfills |
| Open Burning - Forest and Wildfires |
| Gasoline Distribution (Stage I) |
| Gasoline Service Stations |
| Surface Coatings: Architectural, all coating types |
| Natural Gas Transmission & Storage |
| Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) Emissions |
|
Homeowners would be primary source. All gas stations were identified and located. Salem has a Natural Gas transmission and storage tank. Salem has a POTW – South Essex Sewer District. |
Wood burning less than 4% of total, thus not significant, and other listed area sources are even smaller contributors.
Could target Gas stations and surface coatings.
Mobile sources would be greatest impact.

| Gasoline Service Stations (6%) |
|
Consumers Products.
Gas Stations.
|
54% from FIFRA products-good target. Only 6% from Gas Stations-maybe good target since one type of change. |

|
| Dry Cleaning: Perchloroethylene (70%) |
| Consumer and Commercial Products Usage: Automotive Aftermarket Products |
| Municipal Landfills |
| Halogenated Solvent Cleaners |
|
Drycleaners were specifically identified. |
70% from Drycleaning thus Drycleaning is target for reduction |
