About the Report
This summary report is based on the third year National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) datapublished on 31 January 2002 and estimates of diffuse emissions from various regions.It is important to realise that the NPI is a database of estimated emissions and the accuracyof the data will vary according to the estimation technique used.
Household,transport,non-industrial and small facility emissions data (called diffuse sourceemissions data in this publication),unlike reporting facility data,are not estimated every year.
Comparative analysis of diffuse source emissions data is likely to be misleading because,atthis early stage of implementation of the NPI,the techniques used are not consistent acrossall the jurisdictions.It would also be unwise to make comparisons between industries orfacilities without first checking to ascertain the basis and extent of their reporting.
Some reporting facilities have included Internet links to their own pages in their facilityreports.The views expressed in the pages reached through the facility hotlinks are notnecessarily the views of the Commonwealth,Environment Australia nor the National Environment Protection Council.
