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.
