Through equating site inputs and outputs, the mass balance approach seeks to determine if there are unaccounted for outputs that might represent previously unidentified waste quantities or releases of harmful chemicals. The National Research Council is currently evaluating whether any form of mass balance information would be helpful in assessing: 1)

From page 132... ...
B Mass balance compilations may provide valuable data for selected companies or institutions, but are of unproven merit for a broad population of sites and this uncertainty makes such compilations a low agency priority.
