Title: Method 16C for the Determination of Total Reduced Sulfur Emissions From Stationary Sources 
Abstract: Method 16C is used to determine total reduced sulfur emissions and is being proposed as an alternative to Methods 16, 16A, and 16B for regulated facilities in kraft pulp mills (subpart BB of 40 CFR 60) and other industries that emit these compounds. Method 16C combines the sample oxidation technology of Method 16A with the instrumental technology of Method 6C to provide a user-friendly, real-time procedure. The Agency has allowed its use in the past on a case-by-case basis and now believes it should be made available for general use. This method is not required under any rule and does not add any new testing requirement to the current regulations.
