Inventory of Pollutant Emissions to the Atmosphere of the AC of the Basque Country. Annual 1990-2012.

The Inventory of Pollutant Emissions to the Atmosphere is developed in order to evaluate and update annually the anthropogenic emissions by sources of the pollutants regulated by the "Geneva Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution" and the "National Emission Ceilings Directive", in accordance with current international and Community criteria and standards. The calculation methodologies adopted ensure the comparability of the annual data series with those of other countries, within the framework of the international conventions mentioned above. This inventory therefore includes statistical information for both acidifying and eutrophicating substances, as well as for precursor substances tropospheric ozone and particulate matter in statistical series from 1990 to the present. In this context, the European Union has been adopting over time a set of legal provisions requiring Member States to develop information systems on emission inventories and to prepare projections of future developments of air pollutants and greenhouse gases under different scenarios. In addition to summary information on air pollutant emissions, you can also consult existing legislation on air quality and air emissions and have direct access to thematic web pages on the subject.
