The indicator tracks trends since 1990 in anthropogenic emissions of acidifying substances: nitrogen oxides, ammonia, and sulphur dioxide, each weighted by their acidifying potential. The indicator also provides information on emissions by sectors: energy industries; road and other transport; industry (processes and energy); other (energy); fugitive emissions; waste; agriculture and other (non energy). The indicator also provides information on emissions by sectors: energy industries; road and other transport; industry (processes and energy); other (energy); fugitive emissions; waste; agriculture and other (non energy).

Methodology for indicator calculation To obtain emission values for the acidifying substances, the gap-filled emission values are multiplied by an acidifying potential factor, (de Leeuw (2002)). The factors are NOx , SO and NH Results are expressed in acidification equivalents ktonnes. For the main indicator trend graph, emissions are shown indexed to 1990 values (1990 emission =100). To obtain emission values for the acidifying substances, the gap-filled emission values are multiplied by an acidifying potential factor, (de Leeuw (2002)).

CSI 016Municipal waste generation Methodology for indicator calculation Methodology for indicator calculation Precise waste related data does not exist mainly due to lack of systematic monitoring and reporting in the country. The data given above is based on information received through a targeted questionnaire from several municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The municipalities with relevant data are given in the table below. For the calculation of specific waste generation in kg per capita, the amounts of municipal waste collected and disposed by municipalities was divided by the population in the municipalities served by the municipal waste collection services. It is important to note that the data is mostly based on estimates, except for the municipalities in the Sarajevo area, where a weigh bridge is available at the disposal site.

It is important to note that the data is mostly based on estimates, except for the municipalities in the Sarajevo area, where a weigh bridge is available at the disposal site. Almost 100% of the reported amounts of municipal waste collected by or on behalf of municipal authorities is landfilled. The bulk of this waste stream is from households, commerce, offices and public institutions. It is estimated that the figure contains up to 5% of construction waste. The total population of Bosnia and Herzegovina is estimated to be 3.8 million. Almost 100% of the reported amounts of municipal waste collected by or on behalf of municipal authorities is landfilled.
