Air
CHIEF CD-ROM - The Air CHIEF CD-ROM gives the public and private sector
users access to air emission data specific to estimating the types and
quantities of pollutants that may be emitted from a wide variety of sources.
Updated annually, Air CHIEF offers on one disc literally thousands of
pages contained in some of EPA's most widely used and requested documents.
Included are the US EPA Emission Factor and Inventory Group's most popular
emission estimation tools.
AIRS Executive Software
- is a personal computer database that contains a select subset of data
extracted from the AIRS database.
Factor
Information Retrieval (FIRE) Data System - The Factor Information
Retrieval (FIRE) Data System is a database management system containing
EPA's recommended emission estimation factors for criteria and hazardous
air pollutants. FIRE includes information about industries and their emitting
processes, the chemicals emitted, and the emission factors themselves.
FIRE allows easy access to criteria and hazardous air pollutant emission
factors obtained from the Compilation Of Air Pollutant Emission Factors
(AP-42), Locating and Estimating (L&E;) series documents, and the retired
AFSEF and XATEF documents.
FLOW-CALC
Software - FLOW-CALC is a software tool developed by EPA's Clean Air
Markets Division for stack testers who perform flow RATAs for units under
the Acid Rain Program, the OTC NOx Budget Program and the SIP Call NOx
Budget Trading Program. The software is designed to improve data quality
and facilitate the entry of flow RATA data into EDR v2.1 format.
TANKS
- TANKS is a Windows-based computer software program that estimates volatile
organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from
fixed- and floating-roof storage tanks. TANKS is based on the emission
estimation procedures from Chapter 7 of EPA's Compilation Of Air Pollutant
Emission Factors (AP-42). The user's manual, available in Adobe Acrobat
format and WordPerfect, explains the many features and options of TANKS.
The program includes on-line help for every screen.
Vehicle and Engine Emission
Modeling Software - access to a variety of modeling software for use
in testing vehicles and non-road engines for emissions.
Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances
8(e) TRIAGE - a
searchable database of health studies related to Section 8(e) of TSCA.
Chemicals on Reporting Rules
(CORR) - CORR consists of two dBASE (.DBF) files which can be linked
together to provide Federal Register information about regulated chemicals
under certain sections of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
Integrated Risk Information System
(IRIS) - a data base of human health effects that may result from
exposure to various substances found in the environment.
Pesticide
Data Submitters List - is a compilation of names and addresses of
registrants who wish to be notified and offered compensation for use of
their data.
Pesticide
Product Information System (PPIS) - contains information concerning
all pesticide products registered in the United States. It includes registrant
name and address, chemical ingredients, toxicity category, product names,
distributor brand names, site/pest uses, pesticidal type, formulation
code, and registration status.
Pesticide Restricted
Use Products (RUP) Report - is a compilation of both active and canceled
pesticide products classified as "Restricted Use". The "Restricted Use"
classification restricts a product, or its uses, to use by a certificated
pesticide applicator or under the direct supervision of a certified applicator.
TSCATS Standard
Reports (via RTK-NET) - TSCATS (Toxic Substances Control Act Test
Submissions) is an index to unpublished, nonconfidential studies submitted
by U.S. industries to EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

Solid Waste and Emergency Response
Hazardous
Waste Data - access to information from the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Information System (RCRIS) and the Biennial Reporting System
(BRS).
REACH IT - This database
contains information on over 500 remediation or site characterization
technologies and over 900 technology applications in the Superfund and
other Federal programs.
Reporting on Municipal
Solid Waste: A Local Issue - presents background information to assist
print and broadcast media in understanding municipal solid waste (MSW)
issues, including information sources, major laws affecting MSW management,
MSW management state-by-state, and compounds and metals for groundwater
detection monitoring.
Water
Center for Subsurface Modeling
Support - provides a source for publicly available ground-water and
vadosezone modeling software and services.
Enhanced Stream Water Quality Model,
Windows (QUAL2E) - this program simulates the major reactions of nutrient
cycles, algal production, benthic and carbonaceous demand, atmospheric
reaeration and their effects on the dissolved oxygen balance.
National Listing of Fish
Consumption Advisories - a database that includes all available information
describing state-, tribal-, and federally issued fish consumption advisories
in the continental United States, four U.S. Territories, and 12 Canadian
provinces and territories.
STOrage and RETrieval System for Water and Biological
Monitoring Data (STORET) - is a repository for water quality and biological
monitoring data.
Water Radioactivity Software
- access to programs designed to assist in making technically difficult
calculations with a user interface to simplify technical details and offer
protection against mathematical errors.
