Almost all the tools used by the state to regulate the protection of atmospheric air (inventory, rate setting, emission fees, regulation of emissions under adverse meteorological conditions, justification of planned activities, governmental support for air protection measures, etc.) require determining the rate (intensity) of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere-mass of emissions per unit time (g/sec, kg/h, tons/year). The emission rate is used to establish emission standards, to assess the effectiveness of air protection measures and state environmental programs, and to determine the fee for the adverse impact on the environment and is the main content of statistical reporting on air-protection activities. In this regard, there is an objective necessity for governmental regulation of the methods of determining the emission rate. Legal problems of determining the intensity of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere from stationary sources using calculation and instrumental methods, as well as possible ways of their solution are considered.
