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.
