About this Manual
The purpose of all Emission Estimation Technique (EET) Manuals in this series is to assist Australian manufacturing, industrial, and service facilities to report emissions of listed substances to the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI). This Manual describes the procedures and recommended approaches for estimating emissions from facilities engaged in mining and processing of non-metallic minerals.
The activities covered in this Manual apply to facilities primarily engaged in the mining, extraction and processing of non metallic minerals such as perlite, mineral sand, diatomite, feldspars, phosphate rock and other minerals discussed below.

Revision of the Manual
The manual has been revised since its publication. The changes from the previous version are detailed in an erratum table which is included in the manual. It is recommended that the earlier version of the manual not be used for estimation of emissions from Mining and Processing of Non-metallic Minerals.
Emission Estimation Techniques Used in the Manuals
Estimates of emissions of NPI-listed substances to air, water and land should be reported for each substance that triggers a threshold. The reporting list and detailed information on thresholds are contained in the NPI Guide at the front of this Industry Handbook. In general, there are four types of emission estimation technique (EET) that may be used to estimate emissions from a facility.
The four types described in the NPI Guide are:
- sampling or direct measurement
- mass balance
- fuel analysis or other engineering calculations
- emission factors
