In addition to the larger volume pollutants mentioned above, the EPA also found that a typical batch mix plant emits 1,500 pounds per year of volatile organic compounds, whereas the average drum mix plant emits 10,000 pounds of VOCs per year.
As for volatile hazardous air pollutants, the typical drum plant emits 1,800 pounds into the air per year if its dryer is oil-fired and 1,200 pounds per year if it uses gas.
