4 Data Sources
Various data sources have been used to derive the information compiled in this report.
4.1 Source inventory
The most important data sources used for the source inventory have been.
EMEP Database
EPER Database
BREF Documents
EMEP/CORINAIR Atmospheric Emission Inventory Guidebook
UNEP Toolkit
In the EMEP data base information is compiled on annual emissions according to NFRO2
codes. For the years 2000-2003 the following information is available and could be used for
the source inventory of unintentionally produced and released POPs:
• For PCDD/F data to some of the source sectors have been reported from 19 of 25
Member States;
• For PCB and HCB data for some of the source sectors in question are compiled for 12
out of 25 Member States
• For PAH 16 out of 25 Member States have reported annual release data for some of
the source sectors to be investigated
In the EPER data base information for annual emissions from IPPC installations are compiled
for the reporting year 2001.
• For PCDD/F the data base contains sector specific annual releases from 9 of 15
Member States
• For HCB the data base contains sector specific annual releases from 4 out of 15
Member States
• For PAH the data base contains sector specific annual releases to air from 11 out of
15 Member States; to water information is compiled for 9 Member States
Information is restricted to industrial point source releases to air and to water (direct/indirect);
there is no information on releases of PCB.
EPER data have to be interpreted carefully as they include confounding factors such as the
fact that emissions have to be reported under main annex I activities but may include
