2.C.6 - Zinc Production
Short description
Within this NFR sub-category, SO,,2,,, PM,,2.5,,, PM,,10,,, TSP, As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Zn, PCDD/F, and PCB emissions from the production of zinc 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 or determined in several research projects. The EF for the heavy metals (HM) are taken from a research project 2).

+ Recalculations
With activity data and emission factors remaining unrevised, no recalculations have been carried out compared to last year's submission.
