Area Sources

Area sources are smaller sources of air emissions that are not required to submit criteria pollutant data to the MPCA. Examples of area sources include gas stations, dry cleaners and auto body shops. Individually, these sources do not emit much air pollution, but collectively release large amounts of one or more toxic air pollutants.
