Thumbnail Map of Location

The National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) has pollutant emissions from various industrial facility sources, and diffuse sources. Diffuse sources are from small facilities, transport and households.

This report includes data for industrial facilities and diffuse sources (if available for this region) for the 2007 - 2008 NPI reporting year for the region selected.

Map of South Australia
NPI facilities are shown as blue square symbol

Detail

Other reports for this region are below.

How we live impacts pollutant emissions. There are actions we can all take to decrease pollution.

Summary

Top sources by substance - South Australia

The table shows emissions of all NPI substances in this region, and the top sources for each substance. All emission amounts have been rounded to two significant figures. Note that totals may differ from the sum of the individual amounts because of this rounding. Source names for industrial reporting facilities are shown as ANZSIC Groups; source names for diffuse data are marked with *. Click on the source name for more information about that source for this region.
