 In 2018, the TERT noted that the German emission factor for Hg is 100 times smaller than the default value proposed in the 2016 EMEP/EEA Guidebook and the emission factors for Cd and Pb being 1,000 times smaller than the proposed default values.  In 2018, the TERT noted that the German emission factor for Hg is 100 times smaller than the default value proposed in the 2016 EMEP/EEA Guidebook and the emission factors for Cd and Pb being 1,000 times smaller than the proposed default values. 
 However, the EFs for Pb and Cd are based on national expert judgement assuming that a) the emissions behave similarly to dust and b) the dust limit value of the air pollution control specification (27th BImSchV) is complied with (to be confirmed on the basis of the new measurement data from 5 crematoria with different exhaust-gas cleaning systems).  However, the EFs for Pb and Cd are based on national expert judgement assuming that a) the emissions behave similarly to dust and b) the dust limit value of the air pollution control specification (27th BImSchV) is complied with (to be confirmed on the basis of the new measurement data from 5 crematoria with different exhaust-gas cleaning systems). 
-In contrast, the country-specific emission factor for Hg was calculated on the basis of the German report on “OSPAR Recommendation 2003/4 on controlling the dispersal of mercury from crematoria" - and was revised after the finalization of a research Project [(FKZ 3716 53 3021 „Umweltrelevanz und Stand der Technik bei Einäscherungsanlagen“ (Environmental relevance and state of the art for cremation plants); URL: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/publikationen/umweltrelevanz-stand-technik-einaescherungsanlagen)]. As part of this research project, emission measurements were carried out at six cremation routes. According to OSPAR reporting 2010/2014, approx. 90% of the plants have effective Hg mitigation technology, whereas approx. 10% are not equipped. This ratio is roughly reflected in the 2020 project report, too.+In contrast, the country-specific emission factor for Hg was calculated on the basis of the German report on “OSPAR Recommendation 2003/4 on controlling the dispersal of mercury from crematoria" - and was revised after the finalization of the research project „Umweltrelevanz und Stand der Technik bei Einäscherungsanlagen“ (Environmental relevance and state of the art for cremation plants) [(SCHETTERBITTIG2020)].

 Since the cremation duration is approximately one hour, the mean value per hour corresponds to the Hg load per cremation and is used accordingly for inventory calculation.  Since the cremation duration is approximately one hour, the mean value per hour corresponds to the Hg load per cremation and is used accordingly for inventory calculation.
