A CITIZENS’ GUIDE TO
AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT REPORTING IN ONTARIO

Glossary

“Facility”

includes all buildings, equipment, structures or other stationary items that are located on a single site or on adjacent sites and that are owned by the same company and operated as a single integrated site.

" MPO”

means manufacture, process or otherwise use.

“Manufacture”

means to produce or prepare a compound that contains a designated substance. It also includes the incidental production of a substance as a by-product as a result of another substance being manufactured, processed or otherwise used. This latter situation is sometimes referred to as “incidentally manufactured.”

“Process”

means the preparation of a designated substance after its manufacture for distribution in commerce, or the use of a designated substance as part of a chemical or physical process. Processing includes preparation of a substance with or without changes in physical state or chemical form. The term also applies to the processing of materials, mixtures or formulations that contain a designated substance as one component. See definition of “otherwise used” for more detail.

“Otherwise use”

refers to any use of a designated substance at a facility that does not fall under the definitions of “manufacture” or “process.” This includes the use of the substance as a chemical processing aid, a manufacturing aid or some other ancillary use, such as using trichloroethylene to degrease tools, using metal-cutting fluid that contains diethanolamine or using a heat-transfer fluid containing biphenyl. It does not include janitorial or facility grounds maintenance. Nevertheless, substances used in the maintenance of equipment used for manufacturing and processing at the facility are considered “otherwise used,” e.g., solvents for cleaning machines.

“Releases”

refers to pollutants that are discharged directly at the facility into the air. This is the total of releases from stacks, vents, etc., plus releases to the air as a result of storing or handling the material, plus fugitive releases through leaking pipes, evaporation from surface impoundments, etc., plus spills.

Notes to Appendices 2 and 3

* No single CAS number applies to this NPRI listing.

[1] CAS No. denotes the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number, as appropriate. MOE assigned codes denoted with “N/A - Mxx” to contaminants when no single CAS number applies to a specific contaminant.

[2] "and its salts" –– The CAS number corresponds to the weak acid or base. However, the NPRI listing includes the salts of these weak acids and bases. When calculating the weight of these substances and their salts, use the molecular weight of the acid or base, not the total weight of the salt.

[3] "fume or dust"

[4] "fibrous forms"

[5] "Ammonia (total)" means the total of both of ammonia (NH₃ –– CAS number 7664-41-7) and the ammonium ion (NH₄+) in solution.

[6] "and its compounds"

[7] "friable form"

[8] "mixed isomers"

[9] "ionic"

[10] The isomers include, but are not necessarily limited to, HCFC-122 (CAS Number 354-21-2).

[11] The isomers include, but are not necessarily limited to, HCFC-123 (CAS Number 306-83-2) and HCFC 123a (CAS Number 90454-18-5).

[12] The isomers include, but are not necessarily limited to, HCFC 124 (CAS Number 2837-89-0) and HCFC 124a ( CAS Number 354-25-6).

[13] "in solution at a pH of 6.0 or greater"

[14] "yellow or white"

[15] The reporting requirements for mercury have changed for the 2000 reporting year.

[16] This class of substances is restricted to the following congeners:
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (1746-01-6); 1,2,3,7,8-Pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin
(40321-76-4); 1,2,3,4,7,8-Hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (39227-28-6);

and Octachlorodibenzofuran (39001-02-0).

[17] Refers to the metal portion of the compounds emitted to the atmosphere. Reporting facilities are only required to report PM, PM₁₀, and PM_2.5 components of fugitive dust emissions from storage piles, road dust, landfill sites, quarries and mine tailings.

[18] Refer to Annex 1 to Appendix 3 for contaminants listed under glycol ethers (misc.). If one contaminant is equal to or greater than the threshold, then all contaminants in the group, which are manufactured, processed, or otherwise used, must be reported. No emission value should be reported for contaminants that facilities do not manufacture, process or otherwise use.

[19] Refer to Annex 2 to Appendix 3 for definitions of the three mineral spirits groups and their associated contaminants. If one contaminant in the group is equal to or greater than the threshold, then all contaminants in that group, which are manufactured, processed, or otherwise used, must be reported. No emission value should be reported for contaminants that facilities do not manufacture, process or otherwise use.

[20] Refer to Annex 1 to Appendix 2 for the definition of VOCs.

[21] “Coke oven emissions” means the emissions discharged to the atmosphere in the operation of coke oven batteries. Emissions will occur at charging, pushing or quenching operation, bypass, bleeder, and from coke oven doors. Organic compounds soluble in benzene are the major constituents of PM emissions and are also included as VOC. Among the toxic air pollutants included in the organic emissions are benzene, toluene, xylenes, cyanide compounds, naphthalene, phenol, and Polycyclic Organic Matters (POM), all of which are contained in coke oven emissions³.
FIRE2 has emission factors for coke oven emissions for pushing operation, oven door leaks and topside leaks.

[22] MPO means manufactured, processed or otherwise used. By-products must be included in the calculation of the MPO reporting threshold (tonnes or kilograms), even if they are at a concentration of less than one percent by weight. A facility must report its air emissions if contaminants are equal to or greater than the MPO thresholds and the facility has employees that worked a total of 20,000 hours or more (which is equivalent to 10 full-time employees) during the reporting year.

[23] National Pollutant Release Inventory, Environment Canada. Reporting requirements and thresholds as gazetted for the reporting year (also refer to NPRI¹⁶ reporting guidelines for details). Record keeping requirements will be the same as in Table 7.

[24] Total reduced sulphur (TRS) consists of hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), dimethyl sulphide [(CH₃)2S], dimethyl disulphide [(CH₃)₂S₂] and methyl mercaptan (CH₃SH).

Owing to the numerous VOC species, it is not possible to give an all inclusive list of atmospherically important VOCs. A list of VOC compounds based on Carter’s 23 list of ozone forming potential contaminants, not including those in the aforementioned USEPA exclusion list, is available from the Ministry of the Environment’s Public Information Centre upon request.
