About the guide

The National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) is an Australian database of emissions from various industrial facility sources, and diffuse sources. The NPI Guide helps facility managers or operators estimate emissions for the NPI. It helps a facility find out whether it needs to report its emissions of NPI substances.

• Section 1: About the National Pollutant Inventory
• Section 2: Determining if any thresholds have been tripped

• Section 5: How to report NPI emissions and transfers
