Which of the following would NOT appear as a point source in an inventory?

  • A.A power station stack
  • B.A cement kiln stack
  • C.A refinery process heater stack
  • D.District domestic heating

Answer: D

Correct answer: District domestic heating

District domestic heating is an area source. It comprises thousands of individual chimneys spread across a residential area, none of them individually significant and none practical to enumerate, so an inventory represents it by an emission density per unit area.

The other three are point sources: a power station stack, a cement kiln stack and a refinery process heater stack are each a single identified location with known height, gas flow and temperature, which can be modelled directly as a plume.
