This report presents an assessment of the theoretical potential to reduce air emissions of SO2 and NOX had best available techniques (BAT) been fully introduced in a set of electricity-generating large combustion plants (LCP) within the European Union (EU-25) in 2004. Emissions of NOX and SO2...

The EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook (formerly referred to as the EMEP CORINAIR emission inventory guidebook) provides guidance on estimating emissions from both anthropogenic and natural emission sources. It is designed to facilitate reporting of emission inventories by...

This European Environment Agency (EEA) report assesses the damage costs to health and the environment resulting from pollutants emitted from industrial facilities. It is based on the latest information, namely for 2009, publicly available through the European Pollutant Release and Transfer...
