Abstract
The Program for the protection of air quality, ozone layer, climate change mitigation and adaptation of the Krapina-Zagorje County is prepared in accordance with the Article 12 of the Air Protection Act (OG 130/11, 47/14, 61/17, 118/18). The Program sets targets and measures by priority sectors, deadlines and responsible authorities for measures implementation over a five-year period in the County. For the purpose of defining protection measures, based on available data, estimation of annual emissions of pollutants into air was performed: nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides, particles, volatile organic compounds, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and dinitrogen monoxide from the main sectors. Emissions were estimated using the EMEP/EEA methodology and 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories methodology. Road traffic emissions were estimated using DEFRA/DECC methodology. Based on the results on estimated pollutant emissions in the County, appropriate measures have been defined for the protection and improvement of air quality.
Highlights
The assessment included the emissions of the following pollutants into the air: nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides, particles, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and ammonia and greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane and dinitrogen monoxide
Nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur oxides (SOx), PM10 particles, ammonia (NH3) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from the combustion in the industry, service sector, households and construction sector in the County were estimated based on data on energy consumption and emission factors for different fuels using the EMEP/EEA methodology
According to Art. 64 of the Regulations on emission limit values for air emissions from stationary sources [9], installations in which one or more activities involving organic solvents are carried out are obliged to report the data on volatile organic compounds emissions into the EHOS database
Summary
In order to determine the objectives, measures and priorities of air protection within the Air Protection Program, based on the available data, the estimation of pollutant emissions into the air from different stationary and diffuse sources in the Krapina-Zagorje County was made.
