Cóndor (agriculture), Mario Contaldi (energy), Riccardo De Lauretis (energy, industrial processes), Eleonora Di Cristofaro (energy-navigation, solvent and other product use), Sandro Federici (national registry for forest carbon sinks), Andrea Gagna (industrial processes), Barbara Gonella (industrial processes, waste), Francesca Lena (energy), Riccardo Liburdi (national registry), Monica Pantaleoni (energy), Emanuele Peschi (solvent use), Daniela Romano (general coordination and editing, cross cutting issues), Ernesto Taurino (industrial processes, waste), Marina Vitullo (land use, land use change and forestry) INEMAR: Alessandro Marongiu POPs emissions workshop – Bern – 16th May 2012

  2. Point sources

  3. Content • Introduction to the Italian POPs inventory • History • Now (activity, pollutants,sources..) • Next updates and critical issues • Developments and research projects

  4. Introduction to the Italian POPs inventory • Emission factors manual PARCOM-ATMOS – Emission factors for air pollutants 1992 • Technical paper to the OSPARCOM – HELCOM – UNECE emission inventory of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants, 1995 • Emission inventory of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants for 1990 • BREFs and Guidebook EMEP/EEA, IIRs • PRTR, research institutes, industry/operator associations, local agencies • POPs informal group

  5. History Assessment of old sources: OSPARCOM, PARCOM.. Comparison with more recent: GB EMEP/EEA and BREF Look for IIRs Research institutes and national industry/operator associations, local agencies Plant/utility level E-PRTR

  6. History • 2001 starting estimates of POPs: PAH and dioxins • 2007 inventory: PAH (26 SNAP sectors), PCDD/DF (16 SNAP sectors) • 2008 inventory: PAH (26 SNAP sectors), PCDD/DF (16 SNAP sectors), HCB (12 SNAP sectors), PCB (10 SNAP sectors) • 2010 inventory: PAH 27 (+1), PCDD/DF 17 (+1), HCB 12, PCB 10 • 2012 inventory: PAH 28 (+1), PCDD/DF 17, HCB 8 (-5+1), PCB 10

  7. NOW

  8. PAH

  9. PAH

  10. PCDD/DF

  11. PCDD/DF

  12. PCDD/DF from sinter production • Stack sampling and analysis ARPA – CNR • Reports and direct info about technologies • Frequent exchanges of information with ARPA • Annual meeting with the plant in the framework of E-PRTR  data for the annual update

  13. HCB

  14. HCB

  15. PCB

  16. PCB

  17. Key categories summary

  18. Critical issues and next challenges • PAH: • n° of: 4 vs 6 vs 11 vs 16 vs all • B(a)p toxicity equivalent • Time series, Aluminium production, wood preservation (BREF planned) and road paving with asphalt • PAH & dioxins: wood and uncontrolled combustion • HCB: use of pesticides, early ’90s • PCB: national EFs • Other POPs

  19. Developments and research projects • Waiting for the results of the investigation about small combustion of biomass: PM and PAH • Incineration: update of EFs on the basis of different studies carried on by local agencies and national research institutes (such as Moniter project http://www.arpa.emr.it/moniter/)
