from national fishing and off-road vehicles contribute significantly to <strong>the</strong> NO X emission. For nonindustrial<br />

combustion plants <strong>the</strong> main sources are combustion of gas oil, natural gas and wood in<br />

residential plants. The emissions from public power plants and district heating plants have decreased<br />

by 47% from 1985 to 2003. In <strong>the</strong> same period <strong>the</strong> total emission has decreased by 32%. The<br />

reduction is due to increasing use of catalyst cars and installation of low-NO X -burners and denitrifying<br />

units on power and district heating plants.<br />

CO<br />

Even though catalyst cars were introduced in 1990, road transport still has <strong>the</strong> dominant share of<br />

<strong>the</strong> total CO emission. Also o<strong>the</strong>r mobile sources and non-industrial combustion plants contribute<br />

significantly to <strong>the</strong> total emission of this pollutant. The drop in <strong>the</strong> emissions seen in 1990 was a<br />

consequence of a law forbidding burning of agricultural waste on fields. The emission decreased<br />

by 23% from 1990 to 2003 mainly because of decreasing emissions from road transportation.<br />

NMVOC<br />

The emissions of NMVOC originate from many different sources and can be divided into two<br />

main groups: Incomplete combustion and evaporation. The main sources to NMVOC emissions<br />

from incomplete combustion processes are road vehicles and o<strong>the</strong>r mobile sources such as national<br />

navigation vessels and off-road machinery. Road transportation vehicles are still <strong>the</strong> main contributors<br />

even though <strong>the</strong> emissions have declined since <strong>the</strong> introduction of catalyst cars in 1990.<br />

The evaporative emissions mainly originate from <strong>the</strong> use of solvents. The emissions from energy<br />

industries have increased during <strong>the</strong> nineties because of increasing use of stationary gas engines,<br />

which have much higher emissions of NMVOC than conventional boilers. The total anthropogenic<br />

emissions have decreased by 39% from 1985 to 2003 mainly due to an increasing use of catalyst<br />

cars and reduced emissions from use of solvents.<br />
