Release of pollutants to air, water and soil in the Netherlands
This website shows the yearly releases (emissions) of the most important pollutants in the Netherlands.
You can explore the emission data through various channels, such as maps, graphs and tables.
But you can also download all the details into your own database.

Up to date
The data shown in this website is updated 2 to 3 times a year.
The current release (July 2010) shows emissions for 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2007 and 2008
The 2009 emissions are preliminary data and not yet shown in the maps.
Two tables contain more recent (December 2010) data: the table with Kyoto Greenhouse Gasses and the
table with NEC-gasses (National Emission Ceiling). Both you can find using the tab 'Emissions'.
We expect to add an extra year to the point sources (2009) in Spring 2011.

The Netherlands Pollutant Release & Transfer Register
Since 1974 a number of organisations have been working closely together
in this pollutant register (PRTR) project to collect and formally establish the yearly releases of pollutants to air,
water and soil in the Netherlands. Results of this project serve to underpin the national environmental policy.
Data is in this way also provided for the many environmental
reports to international organisations such
as the European Union and the United Nations, e.g. the National Inventory Report for the Kyoto Protocol.
