A list of air pollutants emitted into a community's, state's, nation's, or the Earth's atmosphere in amounts per some unit time (e.g. day or year) by type of source. An emission inventory has both political and scientific applications. (source: EPA)

Background from Wikipedia

An emission inventory is an accounting of the amount of air pollutants discharged into the atmosphere. It is generally characterized by the following factors:

• The chemical or physical identity of the pollutants included,

• The geographic area covered,

• The institutional entities covered,

• The time period over which emissions are estimated, and

• The types of activities that cause emissions.


A well constructed inventory should include enough documentation and other data to allow readers to understand the underlying assumptions and to reconstruct the calculations for each of the estimates included.


Emission inventories are developed for a variety of purposes:

• Inventories of natural and anthropogenic emissions are used by scientists as inputs to air quality models,

• by policy makers to develop strategies and policies or track progress of standards, and

• by facilities and regulatory agencies to establish compliance records with allowable emission rates.
