The GAPF-EI tool is a formulation of methods and assessment of good practice related to the compilation of emission inventories required for the development of effective policies and programmes to protect public health and the environment from the harmful effects of atmospheric pollution....

Historical estimates for aerosol and precursor compounds are key data needed for Earth system, climate, atmospheric chemistry, and transport models, as well as for economic and energy models. Historical data are used both for general analysis and for model validation through comparisons with observations. The core CEDS project is funded by the US Department of Earth and Environmental System Modeli...

The EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook provides guidance on estimating emissions from both anthropogenic and natural emission sources. It is designed to facilitate reporting of emission inventories by countries to the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and the EU National Emission Ceilings Directive. It is an essential tool allowing the compilation of compa...

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) often lack the necessary tools, guidance, and capacity for compiling an emission inventory (EI) for air pollutants. A reliable EI is an important prerequisite for the identification of key emissions sources, as an input to modelling atmospheric transport and impacts of air pollutants, and the identification of appropriate mitigation policies. The publicly-a...

The "Atmospheric Brown Clouds (ABC) - Emission Inventory Manual" addresses the formation and impacts of regional air pollution plumes comprised of various pollutants. The manual, developed by UNEP and AIT, outlines methodologies for creating detailed emission inventories, emphasizing the significance of biomass burning and fossil fuel combustion in Asia, and provides tools and guidelines for count...

This Guidebook is expected to be used for preparation of detailed and reliable emission inventory in East Asia, and is expected to be used to establish strategy for anti-pollution measures in specific location, country or in East Asia....

There are very few African regional inventories providing biofuel and fossil fuel emissions. Within the framework of the DACCIWA project, the authors have developed an African regional anthropogenic emission inventory including the main African polluting sources (wood and charcoal burning, charcoal making, trucks, cars, buses and two-wheeled vehicles, open waste burning, and flaring). To this end,...

This document provides guidance on how to develop emissions inventories to meet state implementation plan (SIP) requirements for complying with the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS), the 24-hour and annual fine particulate matter (PM2.5) NAAQS, and the regional haze regulations. It is intended for use by the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region...

The Clearinghouse for Inventories and Emissions Factors (CHIEF) is a collection of EPA resources dealing with air emissions data, estimates, monitoring, reporting, modeling and inventories....

COPERT is the EU standard vehicle emissions calculator. It uses vehicle population, mileage, speed and other data such as ambient temperature and calculates emissions and energy consumption for a specific country or region. COPERT is:Internationally recognised — used by many European countries for reporting official emissions data.A research tool — calculate emissions at a national, regional ...
