Disclaimer:
The NET reports in AIRSData are produced from an extract of EPA's National Emission
Trends (NET) database. Data for this report was extracted from the October 1999 version of
the NET database. The NET is an emissions database developed by EPA for its internal use.
The NET is based partially on emission data obtained from State and local agencies, but it
is not a database of official State emissions data. Please contact the appropriate State
agency to obtain information on a State's official emission inventory. Please contact the EPA to report errors.
Readers are cautioned not to infer a qualitative ranking order of geographic areas based
on AIRSData reports. Air pollution levels measured in the vicinity of a particular
monitoring site may not be representative of the prevailing air quality of a county or
urban area. Pollutants emitted from a particular source may have little impact on the
immediate geographic area, and the amount of pollutants emitted does not indicate whether
the source is complying with applicable regulations. |
