Emissions Inventories

An emissions inventory is a comprehensive accounting of pollutants released into the atmosphere from various sources within a specific area and time period. It includes data on emissions from vehicles, factories, agriculture, and other activities. This information helps understand pollution levels, identify major sources, and develop strategies to reduce harmful emissions. Think of it as a detailed report card for air pollution, providing the foundation for policymaking, environmental management, and tracking progress toward cleaner air.
