Emission database

UNECE/EMEP (United Nations EconomicCommission for Europe/Co-operative programme for monitoring and evaluation of long range transmission of air pollutants in Europe ) emission database, WebDab 2002 (http //webdab.emep.int/). 

In addition to the extensive chemical reactions, forecast runs include CO tracers which are tagged with their origin. Such tracers are emitted normally over selected regions (north and south China, Japan, south Asia, northern America, Europe, and Siberia) and evolved subject to model transport schemes and normal chemical loss processes for CO. Anthropogenic surface emissions of CO are taken from the Streets et al. (2003) inventory over Asia (except China), and from the Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) (Olivier et al. 1996) over other regions. Surface CO emissions over China are taken from D. Streets,...

Two types of materials are studied in the CIAPES programme ferritic steel and stainless steel. A database for vessels monitored by acoustic emission has been builded to collect the results of all the tests carried out in laboratory and in situ. 

The half-hves, y-ray energies, and y-ray emission probabiUties given ia Table 15 are what is needed if the amount of a radioisotope present ia a sample is to be measured. However, there are other uses of radionucHdes where additional data concerning the decay are needed. If a radionucHde is to be iajected or implanted in vivo it is necessary to have data on all of the radiations produced to be able to assess the impact on the ceU stmcture. Table 16 gives samples of the data that can be useful ia this latter case. Such information can be obtained from some of the references above. There are also computer codes that can use the decay data from the ENSDF database to produce this type of information for any radionucHde, eg, RAD LIST (21). 

The basie database for the eontrol of environmental pollution is a pollution inventory, viz. a tabulation of emissions, diseharges and wastes from the faetory or aetivity eovering all operating phases. This ineludes ... 

Duplicate submissions not identified. Facilities sometimes send multiple copies of the same Form R report to insure that EPA received a copy. Duplicate submissions must be identified by printing the word DUPLICATE" in red Ink on page one in the box marked "THIS SPACE FOR YOUR OPTIONAL USE". Failure to clearly identity a duplicate report may result in the duplicate appearance of the data in the database and the appearance of increased emissions from the facility. 

Releases to air, land, and water occur primarily through its use as a restricted-use insecticide. The media of most importance for human exposure are contaminated air and soil. According to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. Section 11023, industries are required to submit chemical release and ofif-site transfer information to the EPA. The Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), which contains this information for 1987, became available in May of 1988. This database is updated yearly and provides a list of industrial production facilities and emissions. 

As an example, Baitz et al7 focused on different technologies and peripheral system conditions to reduce dust and heavy metal emissions from a refinery. They stressed that the knowledge of the sensitive life cycle parameters and a suitable database, and thus the possibility to quantify impacts, enables a sustainable decision-making in process design and process optimisation. 

Wavelength database libraries of >32000 analytical lines can be used for fast screening of the echellogram. Such databases allow the analyst to choose the best line(s) for minimum interferences, maximum sensitivity and best dynamic range. Further extension of the wavelength range (from 120 to 785 nm) is desirable for alkali metals, Cl, Br, Ga, Ge, In, B, Bi, Pb and Sn, and would allow measurement of several emission lines in a multivariate approach to spectral interpretation [185]. 

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), which contains this information for 1996 became available in May of 1998 This database will be updated yearly and should provide a list of industrial production facilities and emissions. 

In the LCI, we have to rely on databases that are more or less incomplete. In general, production data are best covered, but even there may be gaps. Data on consumption and use processes are scarce in general - for additives, these use processes may be important since additives may leach out or evaporate from products in use. On waste treatment the data situation is also not very good. Average waste treatment processes out of LCI databases are not usable - these describe emissions out of municipal waste treatment in general. Sometimes specific... 

Data on plastic resins and the conversion of resins into materials or (half) products are present in most databases. Surprisingly, these data do not include additives. Neither the (compound) plastics nor the conversion processes take the inclusion, and thus possible emissions, of additives into account. Even more disturbing is that this is not clear to users of the database, which lead to the...
