Technical Bulletin No. 0694: Oriented Strandboard and Plywood Air Emission Databases

A database containing emission sampling data and associated process and equipment information for oriented strandboard (OSB) and plywood plants is described. Excluding boiler data, 16 OSB mills contributed information totaling approximately 500 sample runs and 1500 individual pollutant values, and nine plywood mills contributed information totaling approximately 150 sample runs and 350 individual pollutant values. Pollutant values are generally expressed as a concentration, a mass rate, and a production based rate.
