Austria’s Informative Inventory Report (IIR) 2009

The Informative Inventory Report 2009 (IIR 2009) presents a comprehensive and detailed method description of the Austrian air emission inventory (OLI) for the air pollutants — sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), ammonia (NH3) — carbon monoxide (CO) — particulate matter (TSP, PM10, PM2.5) as well as as well as the air pollutant groups — heavy metals: cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) and -persistent organic pollutants (POPs): polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB). With the IIR, Austria meets the criterion of documentation to ensure transparency and understandability as required for reporting under the Geneva Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP).
