RE: Fugitive Emissions
Many air quality regulatory agencies in the USA require so-called "Inspection and Maintenance Programs" to control the fugitive emissions from piping and valves. For example, the Southern California Air Quality Maintenance District (AQMD) has their Rule 1173 which mandates how such a program is to be implemented. You can read that rule at:

You might also want to read the AQMD's "Guidelines for Fugitive Emissions Calculations" which are available online at:
