  1. E- PRTR Diffuse sources (Non Point) Orsolya SzalasiPublic Participation Programme October 16, 2007

  2. Contents • Definition • Categories • Sectors • Pilot initiative • Data collection

  3. Diffuse SourcesDefinition • many smaller or scattered sources that have releases to: -land -air -water • essentially all sources that are non point “Where the Party determines that no such data exists, it shall take measures to initiate reporting on releases of relevant pollutants…in accordance with its national priorities”

  4. Diffuse sources Categories • Traffic • Agriculture, forestry, fishing • Households • SMEs

  5. Diffuse sources • Air data: sectors like: transport (road traffic, aviation, shipping and railway), military, domestic fuel combustion, solvent use, fossil fuel distribution, agriculture and roofing and road paving with asphalt are included in the inventory. • Water data: sectors identified, agriculture, scattered dwellings and diffuse anthropogenic. MONERIS model - exemplarily presented in the inventory for the Danube river basin - differentiated releases from groundwater, tile drainage, erosion, surface runoff, atmospheric deposition and urban areas • Land data:have yet to be defined.

  6. Diffuse sources/Pilot initiative http://www.bipro.de/__prtr/sub/database.htm Information and data searchable by : -media: air, water, land -by sectors -by pollutants -by Member States Glossary, FAQ, links

  7. Data collection • Extrapolationusing economical or statistical data on ex. production volumes • Using source parameters: ex. miles traveled in case of road traffic, use and locations of chemicals applied in case of agriculture • Computer models: spatially resolved emission maps
