Abstract	The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Atmospheric Modeling Division is engaged in a number of research projects that are leading to advances in emissions modeling of airborne substances. This paper briefly highlights the advances in the following areas: (1) Ammonia emissions - development and application of an inversion technique for refining seasonal and annual estimates of ammonia; (2) Biogenic emissions - development and integration of the third generation of the Biogenic Emissions Inventory System (BEIS3); (3) Fugitive dust emissions - development and testing of geographical databases and a dynamic algorithm for making episodic estimates of wind blown fugitive dust; (4) Sea salt emissions - development of an algorithm for estimating emission originating from oceans; (5) SMOKE - support and refinements to the Sparse Matrix Operational Kernel Emissions modeling system; and (6) Wildlife and prescribed burn emissions - collaboration with the National Park Service on development of the Community Smoke Emissions Model *CSEM).
