Speciation Profiles Used in CARB Modeling

Speciation profiles provide estimates of the chemical composition of emissions, and are used in the emission inventory and air quality models. CARB maintains and updates estimates of the chemical composition and size fractions of particulate matter (PM) and the chemical composition and reactive fractions of total organic gases (TOG), for a variety of emission source categories.

Speciation Profiles

CARB's current PM and Organic Gas Speciation Profiles are available for download from this page as Excel spreadsheet files (PMPROF and ORGPROF). Each speciation profile provides weight fraction data of each chemical species making up the total particulate matter or total organic gases, and is designated by an identification code number. The chemical species are identified by a 5-digit SAROAD code and the chemical name. For PM, there are also PM size fraction tables, which provide the particulate mass within each size fraction (PM total, PM 10, or PM 2.5) for individual source categories. The PMSIZE spreadsheet file contains a summary of the PM size fractions for each PM profile. To compute the amount of a specific chemical constituent in the PM size fraction of interest, each PM chemical weight fraction must be multiplied by the appropriate PM size fraction.

Facility Search Tool - Description

The Facility Search Tool is can be used to query stationary point criteria pollutant and air toxics emissions in a given inventory reporting year, as well as information on facility risk. The tool contains historical and current criteria and toxics emissions data from 1987 and 1996, respectively.

Stationary point sources are sources that can be identified by locations and are often permitted by local Air Quality Management Districts and Air Pollution Control Districts. Examples of stationary sources include facility point sources, such as power plants and oil refineries.

The tool pulls data from CEIDARS(California Emissions Inventory Data Analysis and Reporting System), which is a database management system developed to track statewide criteria pollutant and air toxic emissions.

The emissions inventory development is an ongoing process, and, as new information becomes available, methodologies and models are improved. The Facility Search Engine reflects a snapshot of the CEIDARS inventory at specific date and time.

Find criteria and toxics pollutant emissions data for facilities in California.

  1. After selecting on "Facility Search" below, choose a year that you are interested in.
  2. Limit your search results by the name of the facility (try typing only 1 word) or air district.
  3. Determine if you are more interested in criteria pollutant data, toxic emissions and risk data, or a particular pollutant using the radial button at the bottom of the screen. If you choose "Show Facilities that emit..", use the pull-down to pick a pollutant.
  4. Submit your request (results will appear more quickly if you narrow your search).
  5. Sort the data if necessary using the blue arrows.
  6. Download the facility list.
  7. Select the name of the facility to get information about emissions and risk data.

Air District Rules

Sacramento city scape

There are 35 local Air Pollution Control Districts (APCD) and Air Quality Management Districts (AQMD) (Districts) that regulate stationary sources in California. These stationary sources are located in the jurisdiction of each air district. This web page provides information for you to look up district rules, connect with your air district, and see what rules have been submitted into California’s State Implementation Plan (SIP).

Air District Rules

CARB posts air district rules as a service to the public and the air districts. Many districts also post their rules on their own website.

CARB strives to keep a current list of district rules. However, we cannot ensure this. CARB updates the database as best as possible. The districts help us with this. If you are in doubt, review the actual district rule version. Note that the rule shown may not be in the applicable State Implementation Plan (SIP). If you need information regarding the applicable SIP, contact the district directly. You may also contact Doris Lo of the United States Environmental Protection Agency at (415) 972-3959.
