the use of selection lists
Within a selection list you select one value with the left mouse button. However
there are several ways to select more then one option:
- Select multiple consecutive values with [Shift] + [Left mouse button]
- Select multiple individual values with [Ctrl] + [Left mouse button]
- Navigate through the list by pressing on the first character

Classification of emissions in map
In general, emissions are not divided equally: many of the emissions are found in
the lower range and a few extreme emissions in the upper range. If the standard
classification of equal values is used, the lowest classes typically represent 90%
of the values. This is why two alternative methods for classification are possible
here: equal count and equal logarithmic values.
- Equal values: maximum value minus minimal value divided by the number of classes
(8) (de standard solution)
- Equal count: each class has the same number of values
- Logarithmic: as equal count but using the logarithmic value

Export - Per source
The tab Export - Per source gives an export of all sources for the selected pollutant(s)
year(s) and compartment(s). All emissions have a maximum of 6 significant digits.
The selected sources in the tab Selection - Sector/activity is not taken
into account.

pollutant(s) year(s) and compartment(s). All emissions have a maximum of 6 significant
digits. The selected emission sources in the tab Selection - Sector/activity are
not taken into account. You can limit the geographical area by de-selecting [Select
All] and selecting the individual areas or using the advanced filter.

Settings - Units
All emissions are presented in whole numbers, standard as kilograms per year. Here
you can select another unit, e.g. grams per year for dioxin op kilotonne for CO2.
The selected unit is used in the graphs, map and spreadsheet. However in the tab
Export the data is always presented with the maximum significant digits, in kg and
with a decimal point (in the Netherlands a decimal comma is standard, see
Numbers in Excel, decimal point or comma

Numbers in Excel, decimal point or comma
Microsoft Excel has a default setting for decimal point of comma. This setting affects
the import of CSV files. In the Dutch version a decimal comma (0,5) is normally
used and in the English version a decimal point: (0.5). You can change this
in the settings of the Windows control panel by selecting 'Regional and language
Options' or in Excel by selecting 'Tools - Options - International'

Selection - General
On this page you can select:
- Pollutant or environmental theme
- The year
- The environmental compartment
You can see the resulting map or graph by selecting the tab Presentation, which
shows the total emissions in the Netherlands. It is also possible to attune the
selection to one or more specific sectors, activities or facilities using the tab
Selection - Sector/activity.
[Help index]
Selection - Sector/activity
With an extensive tree structure you can select one or more economical Sectors,
Sub-sectors, Activities and/or individual Facilities. It is possible to select a
complete sublevel after selecting one level (which turns pink after selecting)
[Help index]
Presentation - Graph
The graph shows the development of emissions over the years. Every selected source,
pollutant and sector is represented. The numbering of the lines showing the emissions
is determined by the emission shown for the first year. See the table below the
graph for the legend. You can order the table by selecting the heading of your preference.
All emissions have a maximum of 4 significant digits. You can export the table to
an Excel spreadsheet, which opens in the browser or in a separate window (depending
on your settings).
NB: this is the best way to select your own sources or to see which economic sectors
are important for your pollutant. However, you may want to select a mix from sources
at different levels (sectors, sub-sectors, sources and facilities). Adding these
emissions up in a spreadsheet could result in incorrect totals, so if you want to
see all the sources it's better to use Export - Per source
[Help index]
Presentation - Map
The map only shows emissions from the current selection given in
Selection - General and Selection - Sector/activity.
However, this selection can contain more than one year, source and pollutant and
the map only shows one combination. For this reason you may want to make another
sub-selection in de dropdown lists. You can obtain information on the emission and
location in a separate table using the [i]-symbol. All emissions have a maximum
of 4 significant digits.
The map has a toolbar to zoom in

inclusion of the continental platform will depend on the use of the setting 'Full

Search in documents
After selecting [Search in documents] in the menu to the left you can search any
string inside the document itself. Documents may be written in Microsoft Word, Adobe
PDF, Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Excel and HTML pages. Your search-string should
contain at least 2 characters and a combination of the following keywords:

- "Emi*"
- Emission AND 2006
- Emission NEAR 2006
- "Emi*" AND IPCC

Search for facilities
When the field facility is selected you can search for a facility on a map by typing
at least 2 characters of the name of the facility next to the button and pressing
[Search]. One or more names are shown below. Selecting one name moves and centers
the map to the given location.
