National Pollution Release Inventory

In Canada, 27 toimes of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were released to air in 1995, according to the Canadian National Pollutant Release Inventory (Environment Canada, 1997).

According to the Environmental Protection Agency Toxics Release Inventory, air emissions of diethanolamine from 358 industrial facilities in 1994 were approximately 149 200 kg in the United States (Environmental Protection Agency, 1996). According to the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) of Canada, on-site releases of diethanolamine to air from 74 facilities amounted to about 40 000 kg (Environment Canada, 1995).

The National Securities Commission requires public companies to report the current and future financial or operational effects of environmental protection in an annual information form. Canada has a National Pollutant Release Inventory, similar to the USA s TRI programme.

In addition to NATES, Environment Canada also maintains a national database called the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI). It is designed to collect and make available to the public, on a yearly basis, comprehensive national data on releases to air, water, and land, transfers in waste, and ongoing emissions of specified substances. Under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), owners or operators of facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use one or more of the 176 specified substances under prescribed conditions are required to report to the NPRI. The NPRI reports for the years 1994 and 1995 can be found on the Environment Canada website (http //www.ec.gc.ca/pdb/npri/).

Environment Canada (2009) has 14 metal substances regulated under the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) (Table 7.3). The NPRI is Canada s legislated, publicly accessible inventory of pollutant releases (to air, water, and land), disposals, and transfers for recycling (Environment Canada 2009).

Emissions and inventories are in the case of air pollution related to the assessment of the level of pollutants released from various sources. That is to say emission specification of the relevant technologies and pollutants. The determination of emission factors of different substance in WEEE road transport is often the product of national, EU and international research.

Under the Clean Water Act s permit-to-pollute system, polluters legally discharged more than 1.5 billion poimcb of toxic chemicals into the nation s waterways between 1990 and 1994, according to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). Because the TRI accounts for about 5% of all toxic pollution in the environment, the total load of toxics in the U.S. rivers, streams, lakes and bays over the past five years may be 30 billion pounds. 

CFR61 40CFR63 4.2.13 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) Standards are provided for specific t) es of sources and processes involving hazardous air pollutants (including radionuclides). Requires registration of emission sources and quantity of air contaminant emissions. Contains standards for specific processes involving hazardous chemicals. A chemical inventory is needed to identify and track locations and quantities of chemicals that may be released as hazardous air pollutants.
