4.2.7.2 The Public European Pollutant Emissions Register (EPER) and E PRTR (European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register)

Through implementing the Convention's protocols Parties have achieved large decreases in their pollutant emissions.

For pollutant inventory read Pollutant Inventory

The European Pollutant Emission Register (EPER) showed that in 2004, estimated dioxin emissions from the ILVA plant were responsible for 83 of Italy's total reported emissions.

The thresholds are meant for reporting purposes only a facility must report all emissions of each pollutant exceeding the threshold.

Information on pollutant emissions is also necessary for the assessment of transboundary air pollution and for the international cooperation on this problem

The dissemination of information on emissions is made in accordance with the terms of the European Pollutant Emission Register (EPER) inventories inventory

Air pollution and ozone depletion pollutant emissions by various sector sources Climate change greenhouse gas emissions, particularly other than CO2 Water pollutants in freshwaters Biodiversity species diversity Energy energy consumption by fuel

Other initiatives such as the European Pollutant Emission Register (EPER), the new European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E PRTR) and the EU's Environmental Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) were conceived to help monitor industrial facilities' emissions.

It is already inexpensive, but it is a solid rather than a liquid, a major pollutant, and a source of greenhouse gas emissions.

According to data from the Ministry of Natural Resources, in 2011 mobile sources accounted for 41 of all air pollutant emissions in cities.

Monitor and control specified air pollutant emissions from their sources, Harmonise measuring strategies, measuring methods, calibration and quality assessment methods among Member States, and

The pollutant emissions from road vehicles are regulated separately for light duty vehicles (cars and light vans) and for heavyduty vehicles (trucks and buses).

As well as being a pollutant in its own right, the presence of lead in petrol inhibits the functioning of catalytic converters which help reduce other emissions.

Indicate whether the substance or mixture is a known marine pollutant according to the IMDG Code5, and if so, whether it is a marine pollutant or a severe marine pollutant .

Indicate whether the substance or mixture is a known marine pollutant according to the IMDG Code, and if so, whether it is a marine pollutant or a severe marine pollutant .

Implementation of the Convention and its protocols will be achieved through work on developing policies to manage air quality, air pollution monitoring and the reporting of pollutant emissions.

Pollutant release and transfer registers Confidentiality issues.

Resolution no. 55 of the Working Party on exhaust and pollutant particulate emissions from diesel engines has been issued by the secretariat as TRANS SC.3 104 Add.6.

(c) Establishment of pollutant release and transfer registers

This condition is deemed to be met if the emissions values for each pollutant or combination of pollutants obtained in each test with reference petrol are less than the limits.

How can instruments such as the UNECE Protocol on Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers be used to increase transparency about pollution and thereby exert a downward pressure on levels of emissions?
