Metadaten zur Veröffentlichung

This document is the annual European Union (EU) emission inventory report to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) (UNECE, 1979). The report and its accompanying data constitute the official submission by the European Commission (EC) on behalf of the EU as a Party to the Executive Secretary of UNECE. The report is compiled by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in cooperation with the EU Member States. Under the LRTAP Convention, Parties are obliged and invited to report emissions data for numerous air pollutants: • main pollutants: NOX, NMVOCs, SOX, NH3 and carbon monoxide (CO); • PM emitted directly into the air (primary PM): • PM with a diameter greater than 2.5 microns (PM2.5; also called fine particulate matter); • PM with a diameter greater than 10 microns (PM10); • BC, the most strongly light-absorbing component of PM; and • total suspended particulates (TSPs); • priority heavy metals (HMs): lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg);• additional HMs: arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn); • persistent organic pollutants (POPs): polychlorinated dibenzodioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); • additional reporting of the individual PAHs benzo(a) pyrene (B(a)P), benzo(b)fluoranthene (B(b)F), benzo(k)fluoranthene (B(k)F), indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene (IP), and their sum as total 1–4. These pollutants harm human health and the environment (EEA, 2014a; EEA, 2014b). In addition, certain species also contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone (O3) and secondary PM in the atmosphere. Some pollutants have an indirect and direct effect on the sunlight absorbed by the Earth and reflected back to space (radiative forcing) and hence on the climate.
