Source Data source(s) used Data source(s) usedData come from three sources:
- The Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP Convention), UNECE-EMEP emissions Database, WebDab 2023, as of August 2023. When available (and complete enough), emission data officially submitted by Parties to the Secretariat of the Convention are presented. Metadata are added when expert emissions are used.
- National Inventory Submissions 2023 as of August 2023) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, CRF tables).
- Replies to the OECD Questionnaire on the State of the Environment and comments from member countries received before September 2023.
Data Characteristics Data Characteristics Date last updated Date last updated Population & Scope Population & Scope Item coverage Item coverageThis dataset provides selected information on national emissions of traditional air pollutants: emission data are based upon the best available engineering estimates for a given period; they concern man-made emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Categories presented are based on the NFR 2014 classification. Details of regroupings can be found in the table of correspondence.
Data exclude non man-made emissions and international aviation and maritime transports emissions. For some countries residential mobile emissions (e.g. mowers) are included into Other combustion instead of Other mobile.
Data on fuel refer to fuel sold estimates. Please note that for some countries (e.g. Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, United Kingdom) national objectives are set on fuel used estimates.
The GDP used to calculate intensities is expressed in USD at 2015 prices and PPPs.
Concepts & Classifications Concepts & Classifications Key statistical concept Key statistical conceptAnnual emissions of air pollutants
These data are estimates of the annual volume of emissions of major air pollutants with respect to mobile and stationary sources. The details of estimation methods for emissions such as emission factors and reliability, extent of sources and pollutants included in estimations, etc., may differ from one country to another.
