Abstract

Apart from various gases which are emissions caused by man, there are also emissions of natural origin, a fact frequently disregarded. To be able to estimate environmental pollution caused by exhaust gases reliable figures for the contribution of the individual sources are required. Along with classifying emissions caused by man (anthropogenic) according to causation groups (emission maps), the contribution of natural sources to the total amount of those trace gases emitted into the atmosphere which also occur in automobile exhaust gas is also of interest. In this matter, consideration must be given to globally calculated emissions, but also to emissions occurring within the boundaries of individual countries, e.g., the Federal Republic of Germany.
