  1. LIFE TCY 98/CY/167Integrated Control of Industrial Pollution and Chemical Substances in Cyprus VOC EMISSIONS By: Dr. Stelios Georghiades Labour Inspection Officer Department of Labour Inspection

  2. VOC Emissions • Establishment of an integrated management system concerning VOC emissions according to EU Directives

  3. Definition of VOC • According to 1999/13/EU • Any organic compound having at 293,15K a vapour pressure of 0,01 kPa or more

  4. Sources of VOC Emissions • Petrol storage & distribution • Motor vehicle exhausts • Evaporative emissions from cars • Solvent usage • Industrial processes

  5. Concern about VOC • Stratospheric ozone depletion • Ground level ozone formation • Human health effects • Enhancing greenhouse effect • Accumulation and persistence in the environment

  6. EU Directives • 1994/63 on the control of VOC emissions resulting from the storage and distribution of petrol • 1999/13 on the limitation of emissions of VOC due to the use of organic solvents in certain activities & installations

  7. Directive 1994/63 • Storage installations at terminals • Loading and unloading of mobile containers at terminals • Mobile containers • Loading into storage installations at service stations

  8. VOC emissions from storage and distribution of petrol

  9. Directive 1999/13 • Purpose: To prevent or reduce the direct and indirect effects of emissions of VOC • Note: The Directive limits emissions of solvents, NOT their use

  10. Directive 99/13 - Activities • Coating Use • Vehicle refinish • Coil coating • wood coating • leather coating • coating of winding wire

  11. Directive 99/13 - Activities • Printing and adhesive • printing • footwear production • wood / plastic lamination • adhesive coating

  12. Directive 99/13 - Activities • Other activities • surface cleaning • dry cleaning • wood impregnation • coating manufacture • rubber conversion • vegetable oil extraction • pharmaceutical manufacture

  13. Directive 99/13 - Methodology • Bottom up • Emission = emission factor x activity statistic • Top down • Emission = (Imports - Exports) x emission factor

  14. Manufacture of coating preparations • Top down method • Investigated 5 major industries • Three industries covered by 99/13 • Total VOC emissions for 43 solvents • per industry • per district

  15. Manufacture of coating preparations

  16. Coating preparations - emissions / district

  17. Dry Cleaners - Bottom up method

  18. Dry Cleaners - Bottom up method

  19. Conclusions • Complexity of a VOC emissions register • Registry of VOC emissions in Cyprus

  20. Total Emissions of VOC

  21. Future plans • Identify all VOC emission sources • VOC emissions inventory by species

  22. Acknowledgements • All companies that provided data • All my colleagues who contributed towards this project
