Abstract
What is an air emission inventory? An air emission inventory may be considered formally as a data system composed of four dimensions: pollutants, sources of pollutant, spatial components (territorial units) and temporal components. Generally, the temporal component is reduced to a reference year, but there is some attempt to provide shorter resolutions. Air emission inventories, what for? The different possible users of such inventories are the following:
-
scientists for use in models
-
economists for use in forecasting models
-
politicians for responsibility evaluation, respect of international conventions, regulation orientation
-
public for general information
Air emission inventory, how to proceed? The CORINAIR project tried to provide the most relevant way for achieving a consistent, transparent and harmonized inventory which may be a multi-purpose data bank.
