Table 6 presents the top TRI-reported chemicals emitted to air by petroleum refineries in 2005, based on three indicators. Each indicator provides data that environmental managers, trade associations, or government agencies might use in considering sector-based environmental management strategies. 1) Absolute Pounds Reported. Ammonia and sulfuric acid were the top-ranked chemicals based on the pounds of each chemical emitted to air in 2005. 2) Percentage of Toxicity Score. Sulfuric acid was the top-ranked chemical based on Toxicity Score. 3) Number of Facilities Reporting. Benzene and toluene were the most frequently reported chemicals, with almost all the TRI filers in the sector reporting emissions of these chemicals. The CAA requires refineries to implement a Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) program to monitor and fix equipment leaking fugitive emissions. In 1997, API commissioned a study of 11.5 million refinery components. The study showed more than 90% of controllable fugitive emissions are from about 0.1% of all components.
