Author Description

The Ontario Emission Inventory System is a computerized data management system that accepts, stores and reports on recent available emissions information covering sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbon and other pollutants. This analysis of current emissions presents the relative proportion of emission contribution of the major source sectors (industrial, transportation, fuel combustion, fires and incineration) in Ontario for 1980-83, identifies and quanifies the highest sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide emitters, and indicates trends. Emissions of volatile organic compounds from anthropogenic sources in 1980 are also estimated and included.
