From these statistical input data, the number of fires is estimated via the following steps: | From these statistical input data, the number of fires is estimated via the following steps: | ||
+ | * specific values for number of fires per 1,000 inhabitants, | ||
+ | * differentiated according to building, | ||
+ | * vehicle and container fires, | ||
+ | * Determination of the number of relevant fires per year in Germany in total, | ||
+ | * Differentiation of the fires according to building and vehicle fires, | ||
+ | * Differentiation of fires according to fire scale, | ||
+ | * Differentiation of building fires by building category, | ||
+ | * Conversion of different fires per year to full-scale fires per year, | ||
+ | * Transfer of the results on the number of fires in the form of number of full-scale fires per year differentiated by fire categories. | ||
+ | In order to apply the emission factors available from the EMEP/EEA Guidebook, the annual number of building fires is differentiated for detached and undetached, appartment and industrial buildings. | ||

+ | =====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:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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 " | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | ===== 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. | ||
