-Ammonia emissions from pets are calculated for the first time and based on the methodological description of Sutton et al. (2000) ((Sutton, M.A., U. Dragosits, Y.S. Tang & D. Fowler, 2000. Ammonia emissions from non-agricultural sources in the UK. Atmospheric Environment 34 (2000), 855–869.))and the Guidebook 2023 ((EMEP/EEA Guidebook 2023, Chapter 6, https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/emep-eea-guidebook-2023/part-b-sectoral-guidance-chapters/6-other-sources/6-a-other-2023/view)).
