LIST OF TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS (tacs) AND OZONE DEPLETING COMPOUNDS (odcs) FOR FORM TACS and special instructions for reporting select tOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS

Table 1 provides the complete list of toxic air contaminants and ozone depleters on Form TACS including TAC Code, TAC group name, CAS#, and the name of each specific substances classified under each TAC group. The last column “Type of TAC/ODC” identifies each of the listed components as VOC or PM.

 

Table 1 lists the family name and the individual species within the family for the following toxic air contaminants (TACs):

§         Chlorinated dioxins and dibenzofurans (TAC code #7)

§         Fluorocarbons (chlorinated and brominated) (TAC code #22)

§         PAHs (TAC code #19)

 

It is important when reporting emissions for these families of compounds that emissions are not double-counted thus adversely affecting the facility’s emissions and/or fees.  Emissions reported for the overall family and each of the species within the family are summed for the purpose of calculating total facility emissions and/or assigning fees and prioritizing facility risks.  Therefore, it is important that you either report emissions by individual species or overall emissions for the toxic family.  It is always preferable to report emissions by individual species if that information is available.  Table 2 considers each toxic family and several other toxics such as, arsenic (CAS #7440382), asbestos (CAS #1332214), hexavalent chromium (CAS #18540299), lead (CAS #7439921), and nickel (CAS #7440020), and provides recommendations for emissions reporting.  All TAC emissions must be reported on form TAC as well as on form TACS.  It is important that the directions provided in Table 2 be read carefully before calculating TAC emissions.

22

Fluorocarbons (chlorinated and brominated)

Report emissions as either a family total or by individual species on form TAC.  Do not double count the same emissions.  Emissions from individual species with the same TAC code are added together on form TACS or TACS-O to calculate the family total emissions.

15

Lead compounds (inorganic)

Be sure to consider the lead weight fraction in lead containing materials such as lead acetate, lead phosphate, lead subacetate, and lead chromate, when calculating the lead emissions.  The lead weight fractions for these materials are as follows:
