Short description
| NFR-Code | Name of Category | Method | AD | EF | Key Category 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.C.5 | Lead Production | T1 | AS | D, CS | no key category |
Within this NFR sub-category, SO2, PM2.5, PM10, TSP, As, Cd, Hg, Pb, PCDD/F and PCB emissions from the production of lead are reported.
Methodological issues
Activity data
The yearly production figures were taken from the annual statistical report of the German association for non-ferrous metals [1].
Emission factors
The emission factors are either default values according to the 2016 EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook [2] or determined in several research projects. For heavy metals (HM), the applied emission factors are derived from [3].
Table 1: Tier1 emission factors applied for entire time series| Pollutant | EF | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| SOx | 2.050 | kg/t |
| PM2.5 | 0.0175 | kg/t |
| PM10 | 0.02125 | kg/t |
| TSP | 0.025 | kg/t |
| As | 0.041179 | g/t |
| Cd | 0.019767 | g/t |
| Hg | 0.324515 | g/t |
| Pb | 4.506295 | g/t |
| PCDD/F | 0.34 | µg/t |
Recalculations
With activity data and emission factors remaining unrevised, no recalculations have been carried out compared to last year's submission.
For pollutant-specific information on recalculated emission estimates for Base Year and 2016, please see the pollutant specific recalculation tables following chapter 8.1 - Recalculations.
Planned improvements
No category-specific improvements are planned.
