-
Air emissions which are not released through stacks, vents, ducts, pipes, or any other confined air steam. Examples are equipment leaks or evaporation from surface impoundments and spills and releases from building venting systems.

-
Releases of pollutants to the atmosphere that occur when vapors are vented from containers or tanks where materials are stored. They can also be caused by spillage during the unloading of vehicles, leaks from pipes and valves, and through equipment operation.

-
caused by the escape of gases or liquids from confined vessels or pipes. for instance, methane, which is a greenhouse gas, is produced in landfills by decomposing vegetable matter and can be released into the atmosphere over time.

-
Air pollutants which are emitted directly to the atmosphere, not through a well-defined stack or vent.

Fugitive emissions are air emissions, other than those emitted from an exhaust stack, as a direct result of operation of a facility. ...

-
Material released into the air from sources other than industrial vents and stacks (eg, windblown dust).

-
Those emissions which could not reasonably pass through a stack, chimney, or vent. Fugitive emissions are directly or indirectly caused by the activities of man.
