A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
Tufts maintains MassDEP minor source air permits on each campus. These permits require annual compliance reporting called source registration. The source registration report reports fuel usage on each campus and converts fuel usage to emissions factors.
O3, Pb, OCDs and Other compounds are unknown. We are not required to track/report HAPs because we don't use more than 1 Ton of an individual HAP or 25 Tons of all combined HAPs, so total HAPs is also unknown.
