Data on various emissions for corporations that are required to report in Australia under the National Environment Protection (National Pollutant Inventory) Measure are available at Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water – National Pollutant Inventory (NPI).
Site-specific measurements or model outputs
Notes
Examples of other air emissions include dust, particulates from burning, nitrogen emissions, etc. As different emissions may have very different effects on the environment, quantities of each type should be reported separately and not aggregated, unless there is a scientifically valid method for doing so.
Variants of this metric include TNFD core disclosure metric C2.4: “Non-GHG air pollutants (tonnes) by type:
• Particulate matter (PM2.5 and/or PM10);
• Nitrogen oxides (NO2, NO and NO3);
• Volatile organic compounds (VOC or NMVOC);
• Sulphur oxides (SO2, SO, SO3, SOX); and
• Ammonia (NH3).”
