Abstract

The principal reason why a printer needs to know their VOC and HAP emissions is because of construction and/or operating permits and emission inventory reporting requirements. Many state and local air pollution control agencies have instituted a system of permitting that requires a source of air pollution to obtain either a permit to construct and/or operate. Permits can be viewed as a contract between the printer and the permitting authority allowing the printer to operate as long as specified emission limits are not exceeded. If permits are required, they are required to be in hand prior to accepting delivery of a new press, significantly modifying an existing press such as adding a coating unit, or actually running the press.
