European PRTR Regulation 166/2006/EC
From EPER to European PRTR

In the field of pollutant emission registers EPER - the first European-wide pollutant emission register for releases from industrial facilities - has been in place since 2000. It has been established by Commission Decision 2000/479/EC to implemented the provisions of article 15 (3) of the IPPC Directive on public accessibility of the results of monitoring.

According to the provisions of the EPER Decision, Member States for the first time in June 2003 delivered data on releases into air and water of industrial facilities for 50 pollutants if threshold values as specified in Annex A1 of the EPER Decision were exceeded.
What is the National Pollutant Release Inventory?

The National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) provides Canadians with access to information on the releases and transfers of key pollutants in their communities. It is the only national, legislated, publicly accessible inventory of its kind in Canada.

The NPRI is a major starting point for identifying and monitoring sources of pollution in Canada. It is an important consideration in managing risks to the environment and human health as well as in monitoring indicators for the quality of our air, land, and water. It is also emerging as an indicator for corporate environmental performance.

Before the basic PRTR information management system can be designed, decisions must be taken about: a) the goals of a PRTR; b) who reports, how often; c) what portion of the PRTR list must be reported mandatorily; d) which data elements to include; and e) whether the PRTR system will include information about chemicals arising from sources of concern other than individual reporters. In order to provide as complete guidance as possible, this Chapter will deal with PRTR information management systems assuming both individual reporters and a PRTR component involving other sources of concern. This latter component is of importance because both the Canadian and Dutch PRTR systems include releases from diffuse sources. Both PRTRs clearly show that these sources are major contributors to pollution loads.
