Incineration plants (non-hazardous waste incineration) — air emissions of selected pollutants, from 2010-2020, indexed to 2010

Emissions reported to the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) of 3 pollutants (NOX, PAH, dioxins and furans), and number of reporting facilities. Emissions from 2010-2020, indexed to 2010 (except PAH indexed to 2009). Activity covered: 5b in Annex I of the E-PRTR Regulation (‘Installations for the incineration of non-hazardous waste in the scope of the Industrial Emissions Directive; with a capacity of 3 tonnes per hour').

Methodology

- Emissions data reported to the E-PRTR. Emissions indexed to 2010 (except PAH see above). There has been an outlier removal and data cleaning exercise on the original/official reported data, based on assessing the average emissions reported by other incineration plants and the incineration plant in question which had produced an outlier, and apply expert judgment on each data point.
- Original emissions are reported in kg per year but the graph presents them indexed to 2010 (PAH indexed to 2009).

Units

Emissions: Index (2010=1)
