Primer on Pollution Source Apportionment

Building an effective air pollution control plan requires information of the contribution of various sources. This is not an easy or a quick process, as it involves many steps from field experiments, to laboratory analysis, to (statistical and predictive) modeling, and some related to linking the results to pollution control plans. The primer is structured on the steps of source apportionment, explaining the process using 2 approaches to support an informed air quality management plan.
