SUMMARY OF FUGITIVE PARTICULATE EMISSION FACTORS

10.4 WOODWOR#IN6 OPEUTIONS

Since most woodworking operations control emissions out

of neceesity, fugitive emirsions &re eeldom a problem.

Hovever, the wood waste rtorage bine art a common source of

f u g i t i v e emissionn.

sources and their corresponding eminsion factors.

Information concerning o i e e characteristics is very

limitad. Data collected in a western red cedar furniture

factory equipped with exhaust ventilation on most wood

working equipment ohowed most suspended particulates in the 7 working environment to be leas than 2 IJm in diameter.
