Data Inventory
Here you find data matrices compiling information on pollutants and sectors on European and Member States scale as far as data are available.Based on the requirements of the European PRTR Regulation, information is structured into the categories air, water, land.
Data collection has been performed basically for all the 91 pollutants, as specified in Annex II to the European PRTR Regulation. However, inventory matrices has been restricted to the pollutants where data have been available.
Differentiation has been performed as far as possible for the following geographical levels:
- Europe (i.e. the area covered by the 25 EU Member States)
- Individual Member States
- European river basins
With respect to releases to air, data could be identified and have been compiled for 10 source sectors.
With respect to releases to water data could be identified and have been compiled for 5 sources categories only.
With respect to releases to land up to now no data for releases from diffuse sources could be identified as publicly available.
In order to assure a maximum of comparability in reporting a reference approach has been used with respect to the reporting year. As reference year the year 2003 has been used where possible. In case data did not exist, reporting from previous years has been taken into account with clear specification.
