Information Gathering Of Unintentional POPs With The

Updated UNEP Toolkit

 Release Estimates
Once PCDD/PCDF sources are identified and classified, emission factors selected and
national or regional activity rates determined, the estimation of the total annual releases
by source group, source category and class is relatively simple and straightforward.
For a source class, PCDD/PCDF releases per year are calculated according to the equation
below. The activity rate is multiplied by each of the five emission factors and the sum of
the five resulting values represents the quantity of PCDD/PCDF released annually from the
source class.

PCDD/PCDF released, grams TEQ/year =

Activity Rate x Emission FactorAir
+ Activity Rate x Emission FactorWater
+ Activity Rate x Emission FactorLand
+ Activity Rate x Emission FactorProduct
+ Activity Rate x Emission FactorResidue
