Overview
41
42
43
The present chapter deals with the production of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and
pesticides. Emissions from this source category are not significant, since the contribution to the
total national emissions is less than 1 % of the national emissions of any pollutant.
44
45
46
There is overlap between the present chapter and chapter 2.B Chemical Industry. The latter
chapter deals with emissions from pesticide production, while the present chapter deals with the
production of POPs in general.
47
48
49
Compared to the use of POPs, the production of POPs is not a key category since the production
processes are mostly highly controlled in order to manage health and environmental effects. In
addition, no emission factors are available for the production of POPs.
50
51
The present chapter covers only the production of POPs; the use of POPs is covered by chapter
2.F Consumption of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Heavy Metals.

Description of sources
54
2.1
Process description
55
The production of POPs excludes the production of pesticides, which are dealt with in chapter 2.B.

61
From the production of POPs, emissions of the main pollutants — nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur
oxides (SOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), carbon monoxides (CO) and
ammonia (NH3) — may occur, as well as particulate emissions and POPs.
62
2.4
63
64
Processes in the production of POPs are likely to be highly regulated and have a high degree of
control because of the serious impacts caused by POPs on health and environment.

Tier 1 default approach
70
3.2.1 Algorithm
71
The Tier 1 approach for emissions from this source category uses the general equation:
E pollutant  AR production  EFpollutant
72
(1)
73
74
This equation is applied at the national level, using annual national statistics on the production of
POPs.
75
3.2.2 Default emission factors
76
77
There are no emission factors available for the production of POPs. In most cases, emissions can
be assumed to be negligible, especially when compared to the use of these products.
