Prepared by: A. Aleksandryn<br />
Z. Csizer<br />
Based <strong>on</strong> this study the most important source<br />
categories in Armenia are as follows:<br />
‣ Thermal processes in metallurgy industry/metal<br />
manufacture<br />
‣ Producti<strong>on</strong> of ferrous metals;<br />
‣ Producti<strong>on</strong> of n<strong>on</strong>-ferrous metals (copper,<br />
aluminum);<br />
‣ Chemical industry;<br />
‣ Cement producti<strong>on</strong>;<br />
‣ Lime producti<strong>on</strong>;<br />
‣ Glass producti<strong>on</strong>;<br />
‣ Asphalt mixing/ producti<strong>on</strong>;<br />
‣ Fossil fuel-fired utility and industrial boilers<br />
(communal/ municipal facilities);<br />
‣ Open burning of wastes at dumps, etc.<br />

Leading industrial subsectors in Armenia are machine<br />
manufacturing, ferrous and n<strong>on</strong>-ferrous metallurgy and<br />
metal processing, chemicals and petrochemicals and<br />
building materials.<br />
Major products of chemical and petrochemical industries:<br />
calcium carbide, sodium hydroxide, chlorine, hydrochloric<br />
acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, chloroprene rubber and<br />
latexes, amm<strong>on</strong>ia, glass, man made fibres, and plastics;<br />
many of them are sources of UPOPs.<br />

UPOPs releases have been estimated with the<br />
“Standardized Toolkit for identificati<strong>on</strong> and Quantificati<strong>on</strong> of<br />
Dioxin and Furan Releases ” prepared by UNEP Chemicals.<br />
A representative sample of 354 industrial enterprises has<br />
been taken as PCDD/PCDF sources.<br />
