Created Monthly Emissions Factor using spreadsheet from Nick Hopper
Accounts for less than 24 hours of operation, less than 365 days per year of operation during each month:

Com m unity Exposure Guideline (CEG)
In the early 1990's DuPont established a Community Exposure Guideline (CEG) of 0.3 ug/m3for the inhalation pathway.
I A CEG is an exposure guideline established by DuPont's Haskell Laboratory.
I The CEG assumes a 24-hour lifetime exposure by all, including the most sensitive individuals, in an exposed community population.
I Exposure above the CEG will not necessarily result in any adverse effects.
