Project Title:
Statistical Analysis of 2008 National Emission Inventory
Sponsoring Office:
Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Air Quality Assessment Division
Project Overview:
The National Emissions Inventory (NEI) is EPA’s compilation of estimates of air pollutants discharged on an annual basis and their sources. The compilation includes emissions estimates submitted by state, local, and Tribal air pollution control agencies, estimates calculated by EPA, and emissions obtained from other sources. EPA is maintaining emission inventory data for the 2008 NEI. Under this project, the fellow will design and implement statistical analyses of these data. The statistical analyses may include, but are not limited to:
- Gap analyses to identify missing sources or pollutants;
- Trend analyses to examine emission changes over time;
- Comparative analyses to examine differences in data submitted from various organizations or locations (or both); and
- Outlier analyses to examine extreme values based on various statistical tests.
Project Goals:
The goal of this project is for the fellow to develop a robust understanding of the data in the Draft 2008 NEI through the use of various statistical analyses.
Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will develop a report documenting the statistical analyses undertaken and the results of these analyses. The report may include, but is not limited to: (1) a description of the analytical techniques used; (2) findings of the analyses presented in the appropriate format (text, tables, graphs, maps, and similar designs); and (3) an overall assessment of the data.
Project Location:

Office Mission/Responsibility
The primary mission of EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) is to preserve and improve air quality in the United States. As a national EPA headquarters office located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, OAQPS compiles and reviews air pollution data; develops regulations to limit and reduce air pollution; assists states and local agencies with monitoring and controlling air pollution; makes information about air pollution available to the public; and reports to Congress on the status of air pollution and the progress made in reducing it.
