Method
Activity data
Statistical data from the tax registration of sold tobacco 1), cigarettes and cigars are used as activity data.
Emission factors
Here, as study was made and published in October 2016 “Entwicklung von Methoden zur Berechnung von Emissionen von Luftschadstoffen aus der Verwendung von Holzkohle, Tabak, Feuerwerk und Kerzen sowie aus dem Entfachen von Brauchtumsfeuern” from Nicola Toenges-Schuller et al., AVISO GmbH, for the Umweltbundesamt Germany. Based on this study, most of the EFs are an average value from different studys.
