Emissions into the atmosphere of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, lindane and hexachlorobenzene in Europe
report
For the modeling of pollution of the North Sea and the Baltic by aerial pathways some organic substances have been chosen among others. These are: RAM's, RGB's, Lindane and hexachlorobenzene (HCB). Main sources have been selected and emission factors for these have been developed. Surrogate parameters to spatially distribute emissions have been chosen. Emission data, to be expressed as annual averages, have to be represen tative for the year 1982. They have to be estimated for all European countries. As was anticipated, only for RAM's sufficient data were available to make emission estimations. The scarce and partially conflicting data for the other substances only allowed order of magnitude values of emis sions . The source types proposed for the model investigation, together with their emission factors, are listed below. It was not possible to give confidential limits, instead, ranges were rougly estimated.
