Method

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].

SO2 18
TSP 0.3
Ni 0.025

Uncertainties

Recalculations

With activity data and emission factors remaining unrevised, no recalculations were carried out compared to Submission 2022.

Planned improvements

There are no category-specific improvements planned.
