EMISSION FACTORS MANUAL PARCOM-ATMOS. Emission factors for air pollutants 1992
report
This manual provides emission factors for emissions to air for nine
heavy metals, nine organic substances and ammonia. The emission factors are
presented separately for each industrial and non-industrial activity. An overview
indicates for each of the nineteen substances the activities for which emission
factors are available. If possible, emission factors are given related to the
abatement technique. The emission factors can be used to establish emission
inventories.
The report is an extension of a 1991 document prepared for PARCOM-ATMOS
which was mainly based on experience from the emission inventory in the
Netherlands. Comments on the 1991 report, and additional material from
international sources were incorporated.
The uncertainty in the calculated emissions can be caused by the range of the
emission factor but also by the limited information about for instance metal
contents of fuels and ores or the part of the emissions that is airborne.
Recommendations for further investigation and an estimation of priorities are
given.
