Emissions prognosis of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and ammonia resulting from industrial activities (including energy) medium term (2010) and long term (2020)

Abstract

The overall objective of the project was creating those instruments to allow assessment and forecast pollutant emissions from industry (sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, ammonia, which is for the project, the target group), medium term (2010) and long term (2020), as an essential element in policies to reduce the environmental impact of industrial activities in Romania. The project arose from the need for observance by Romania of the obligations under the Directive on national emission ceilings (Directive 2001/81 / EC transposed in GD 1856 of December 22, 2005) protocols Convention on transboundary air pollution over long distances (Convention LRTAP - 1979), the Geneva Convention, as the documents agreed at Aarhus and Gothenburg, all aimed at improving environmental quality and clean air for Europe, according to CAFE (clean air for Europe). The main results of the project were: - Identify sources and data structure needed foreseeable emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and ammonia; - Collecting online data required projections of SO2, NOx, VOC and NH3 - Forecasting the medium and long term emission target group and disseminating the results obtained
