atmospheric emission:costsThe activities associated with managing and reducingthe atmospheric emissions are illustrated in Figure 32referred to the 2007–2009 three-year period. The reductionof emissions in the tannery is achieved thanksto the selection and purchase of efficient machinery, thedevelopment of processes with a reduced impact, as wellas maintaining the removal plants and the analyses.The structure of the associated costs concerns thefollowing activities with the related importance that wasgreater in 2009:® Processes developed with loweratmospheric pollution® Use of products causing lower atmosphericpollution® Selection and purchase of high-efficiencymachinery in relation to atmospheric emissions® Management and maintenance of scrubbers® Analysis of atmospheric emissionsPersonnel, consumables, and amortisation/depreciationrepresent the expenditure categories with a relativelygreater importance during the survey period.table 7 - Atmospheric emissions: summary dataINDICATOR 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009Dusts (g/m 2 ) 0.60 0.76 0.77 0.71 0.74 1.22 0.80 0.87NOx (g/m 2 ) 1.98 2.03 2.11 2.04 2.05 2.03 2.04 2.10SOx (g/m 2 ) 0.80 1.05 2.42 1.42 1.63 1.45 1.46 1.71H 2 S (g/m 2 ) 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.004 0.04 0.06Emission costs/turnover (%) 0.1% 0.10% 0.10% 0.10% 0.12% 0.11% 0.11% 0.08%Emission costs/ unit product (€/m 2 ) 0.049 0.042 0.030 0.038 0.035 0.028 0.034 0.019Source: UNIC 200942
