Fugitive Emissions of VOCs from Industrial Sewer Networks: Integration of naUTilus and ArcView. The FORTRAN model, naUTilus, estimates emissions of VOCs from industrial sewer networks. Using ArcView as a user interface, both the input and output of the naUTilus model are presented in a more managable format. The ArcView/naUTilus interface is created using the object oriented programming language, Avenue.
