 +=====Emission Factors===== 
 +For most of pollutants Tier2 default values from the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook 2019 (as 2016), Chapter 5.E - Other waste, tables 3-2 to 3-6 are applied [(fires)]. Due to gap for emissions factors of black carbon we assume the following analogy: 10% of PM2.5 from Table 3-40, Tier 2 emission factor for conventional stoves, wood and similar wood waste. Regarding containers we use figure of Table 6.22 of Danish IIR [(https://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/dk/un/clrtap/iir/envxgkjdw/Denmarks_Informative_Inventory_Report_2019.pdf)]. 
 + 
 +In contrast to building fires, in accordance to the emission factor values provided in the EMEP/EEA Guidebook, no additional differentiation e.g. of vehicle categories is implemented. 
 + 
 +=====Verification===== 
 +For verification purposes, a consultant has checked the Informative Inventory Reports (IIRs) of other countries. In the IIRs of Denmark and Iceland it is additionally stated that the emission factors refer to so-called "full-scale fires" and therefore the activity data (i.e. the number of fires) must be converted to so-called full-scale equivalent fires. 
 +\\ 
 +===== Trends in emissions ===== 
 + 
 +All trends in emissions correspond to trends of AD. No rising trends are to identify, but a jump in 2003 due to many forest fires. Forest fires are part of the total fire AD and affect so the calculation in general.

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