The European atmospheric emission inventory of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants for 1990

This report represents the results of an emission inventory project for heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants for 1990 on the basis of submissions of emission data from Parties to OSPARCOM, HELCOM and the Convention of LRTAP. The report's substance list includes the compounds identified as priority substances by OSPARCOM and HELCOM. For the countries, sources or compounds lacking in official submissions, default emission estimates have been prepared and applied to complete the inventory. The inventory practically covers the whole of Europe and the inventory results are available on a 50 x 50 km"2 EMEP grid for modelling purposes. Besides the results by the countries, the report describes the methodology applied. Also, it indicates how the results can be used by the countries for updating emissions. The report is intended to be a preparatory step towards the preparation of the European CORINAIR95 emission inventory.
