| | EPA - OTAQ - AP-42: Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors |
 | | As the underlying data sets on in-use emission levels were expanded, EPA's understanding of the many parameters influencing in-use vehicle emission levels increased, and the MOBILE program steadily grew in complexity and sophistication, both to account for these parameters and to provide more user-controlled options. |
 | | Section II provided emission factor information, in the form of look-up tables, for a wide range of off-road mobile sources (including agricultural equipment, construction equipment, lawn and garden equipment, aircraft and aircraft engines, locomotives, marine vessels, and miscellaneous types of equipment). |
 | | The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act directed EPA to conduct a study of the emissions from and air quality impact of these many nonroad sources, and to make a determination as to whether regulation of such emissions should be pursued. |
