NPI location report - All sources: Western Australia

1 August 2008 10:19

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 2006 - 2007 NPI reporting year for the region selected.

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

Other reports for this region are below.

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

Summary

76 substances from 136 sources were found.
636 facilities reported to the NPI.
Diffuse data was collected for 85 sources.
Indicative top sources are shown in the pie chart. Note that only substances listed on Table 1 were used in the calculation. These substances were required to be reported during the first three reporting years.

Top sources by substance - Western 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.
