Activity data

The yearly production figure was taken from the annual statistical report of the US Geological Survey (USGS) for non-ferrous metals [Lit. 1].

Emission factors

The emission factors are the default values according to the 2019 EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook [Lit. 2].
