2.C.5 - Lead Production
Short description
Within this NFR sub-category, SO2, PM2.5, PM10, TSP, As, Cd, Hg, Pb, PCDD/F and PCB emissions from the production of lead are reported.
| Method | AD | EF | Key Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | AS | D, CS | no key category |
Methodology
Activity data
The yearly production figures were taken from the annual statistical report of the German association for non-ferrous metals 1).
Emission factors
The emission factors are either default values according to the 2016 EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook 2) or determined in several research projects. For heavy metals (HM), the applied emission factors are derived from 3).
Table 1: Tier1 emission factors applied for entire time series
| Pollutant | EF | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| SO2, | 2.050 | kg/t |
| PM2.5 | 0.0175 | kg/t |
| PM10 | 0.02125 | kg/t |
| TSP | 0.025 | kg/t |
| As | 0.041179 | g/t |
| Cd | 0.019767 | g/t |
| Hg | 0.324515 | g/t |
| Pb | 4.506295 | g/t |
| PCDD/F | 0.34 | µg/t |
Recalculations
With activity data and emission factors remaining unrevised, no recalculations have been carried out compared to last year's submission.
For pollutant-specific information on recalculated emission estimates for Base Year and 2018, please see the pollutant specific recalculation tables following chapter 8.1 - Recalculations.
Planned improvements
No category-specific improvements are planned.
