Emissions monitoring and reporting

Emissions estimation, monitoring and reporting

• Licensing: load-based licensing (LBL) sets fees and limits on the loads of pollutant emissions by holders of environment protection licences under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act).
• Methods for sampling and analysis: The approved methods for the sampling and analysis of air pollutants in NSW (August 2005) specify how air emissions are measured.
   
• Methods for modelling and assessment: The approved methods for the modelling and assessment of air pollutants in NSW (August 2005) specify procedures and criteria for evaluating air emissions. 
  
  
• The National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) is Australia's national public database of pollutant emissions.
