National Pollutant Inventory Database - Report Changes

25 June 2001

The formats of all reports have been revised and made more consistent as part of ERIN's on-going effort to meet world-class Web accessibility and presentation standards.

Local Government, Postcode, Airshed and Catchment reports
Selection of facilities and emissions in Local Government Areas, postcodes, airsheds, and catchments is now done in reference to their proper spatial boundaries. Previously, these areas were approximated by a rectangular bounding box. The improvement over the previous approach is particularly visible in the facility and substance emission reports for regions such as LGA's and catchments.

Substance Emission Report
The substance emission report has been dramatically revised. It now begins with an emission summary which lists total emissions for reporting facilities, each airshed, and each catchment in the region specified. For each category, subtotals by reporting facilities / other sources are given. In the airshed and catchment detail sections, subtotals for reporting facilities and other sources have been added.

Facility Report
A facility report now opens with a summary of the emissions of the facilities being reported on - provided the length of their reporting periods matches.
Zero emissions for facilities are now reported as such in the facility reports.

Overlapping airsheds and catchments
Reports on regions which include more than one and/or overlapping airsheds and/or catchments now properly report on ALL the airsheds and/or catchments in the region.

Catchment Emission Reports
'All Sources' and 'Industry Sources' reports: two options have been added to the pick list for catchment sources in Quick Search.

In each report, a link provides access to a list of the sources which were summed.

Data Download Enhancements
A facility download now includes anzsic details, and the spatial postcode and LGA.
