EMISSIONS OF SOX, NOX, VOC AND CO FROM EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

For the purpose of model calculations of long-term ozone levels over Europe a database, resembling that of the PHOXA project (PHotochemical OXidant and Acid deposition model application) and an inventory of SOx, NOx, VOC and CO emissions from main source types has been prepared for the reference year 1985 for all European Countries. The U.S.S.R. was included to 60-degrees east longitude. Emissions from OECD and CEC member countries could be taken and updated where necessary, from recently compiled inventories. Emissions from East European countries, however, were only available in a form too aggregated to be applicable for the project. In this paper, the estimation of emissions from these countries is described and possibilities for improvement are discussed. This emission inventory is the first one for Eastern Europe with a rather complete structure including composition profiles of pollutants, temporal allocation procedures and temperature relations.
