What Is an Emissions Inventory?
An emission inventory is a detailed list of pollutants or greenhouse gases released into the air by different sources in a specific place and time. It tracks what chemicals are emitted, how much is released, and where the pollution originates.
Key Components
- Sources: Tracks point sources (like factories and power plants), area sources (like homes and small businesses), and mobile sources (like cars and trucks).
- Pollutants: Covers criteria for air pollutants (like smog precursors and particulate matter) and greenhouse gases (like carbon dioxide and methane).
- Calculation: Multiplies activity data (such as fuel burned or miles driven) by an emission factor to estimate total pollution release.
Why They Matter
- Planning: Helps government groups create rules to clean the air.
- Tracking: Measures progress toward public health and climate goals.
- Modeling: Feeds data into computer models to forecast future air quality.
