Presentation on theme: "Emissions of Pollutants into the Atmospheric Air"— Presentation transcript:

1 Emissions of Pollutants into the Atmospheric Air
Joint Intersectoral Task Force on Environmental Indicators Fifth session Geneva, 4 – 6 July 2012 Emissions of Pollutants into the Atmospheric Air Introductory Overview Vladislav Bizek Consultant to the Secretariat

2 Structure of Presentation
Air pollutants Origin of air pollution Presentation of emissions Emission inventory International legislation Reporting format

3 Air pollutants Main pollutants Other pollutants Sulphur dioxide
Nitrogen oxides NMVOC PM (TSP, PM10, PM2.5) Ammonia Carbon monoxide (hydrocarbons) Other pollutants PAH PCB PCDD/F HMs (lead, cadmium, mercury) Others (arsenic, nickel, …..)

4 Origin of pollution Type of source Type of process
Stationary (registered sources) Mobile (exhaust and non-exhaust emissions) Fugitive (non-registered / not defined source) Type of process Combustion (energy sector, housing, transport – heating, exhaust emissions) Technology (industrial and agricultural processes – both registered and diffused sources) Physical process (diffused sources, non-exhaust emissions)

5 Presentation of emissions - 1
Absolute values of emissions Total national emissions Emissions at lower territorial levels (region, municipality) Emissions per economic sector Related values of emissions Emissions per capita Emissions per unit of land Emissions per unit of GDP

6 Presentation of emissions – 2 Absolute values: SO2 in the Czech Republic 1990 – 2010 (kt/year)

7 Presentation of emissions – 3 Related values: NOX in the Czech Republic in 2009 (t/km2)

8 Emission inventory Aggregation of particular emission data
Measurement (large stationary sources): continuous or periodic measurements Calculation (smaller registered stationary sources, mobile sources): Activity data x emission factor Qualified estimate (emissions from non-registered sources, fugitive emissions) International methodology EMEP/EEA Air Pollutant Emission Inventory Guidebook – 2009 Website:

9 International legislation
UNECE CLRTAP EMEP Protocol on HMs Protocol on POPs Gothenburg Protocol Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants Emissions of POPs UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Emissions of indirect greenhouse gases (CO, NOX, SO2 and NMVOC)

10 Reporting format Nomenclature for Reporting (NFR): Developed under UNECE CLRTAP Main categories of sources of pollution Sector 1: Energy Sector 2: Industrial processes Sector 3: Solvent and other product use Sector 4: Agriculture Sector 5: Land use and land use change Sector 6: Waste Sector 7: Other and natural emissions Methodology: Guidelines for Reporting Emission Data under the UNECE CLRTAP (2009) Website: Other formats: SNAP (Selected Nomenclature for reporting of Air Pollutants), CFR (Common Reporting Format developed under he UN FCCC)
