Description

This table contains figures on the emissions of air pollutants, calculated according to the European NEC guideline (NEC= National Emission Ceilings). This concerns the emissions to air from stationary and mobile sources in the Netherlands of ammonia (NH3), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), PM2.5 (particles with a diameter smaller than 2.5 micrometers), particulate matter (PM10; particles with a diameter smaller than 10 micrometers), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds, excluding methane (NMVOC). In this table the emissions from the coking plant of Tata Steel (Hoogovens) are included in the base metal industry (and therefore not in the energy sector) and the emissions from road traffic and fishing are based on the sales of motor fuels.

Data available from 1990 to 2021.

Status of the figures:
The figures from 1990 to 2021 are final. In order to obtain a consistent time series the complete data set is (re)calculated when necessary, so as to be able to include the latest insights in the survey, especially in the case of emission factors.

Changes as of 13 February 2024:
None, this table was discontinued.

When will new figures be published?
No longer applicable. This table is succeeded by the table: Emissions of air polluting substance according to NEC guide-lines. See section 3.
