In Finland, the sources of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) are mainly in energy production. Nitrogen oxides are generated also in the transport sector and ammonia (NH3) emissions in agriculture.
Finland reports air pollutant emission data annually to the Secretary of the UNECE Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution and to the EU Commission. The emission inventory methodology is based on national and default methods being consistent with the EMEP/Corinair Atmospheric Emission Inventory Guidebook.

*Emission increase originates from emissions of off-road machinery (machinery used in construction, agriculture and other applications). These emissions have been calculated since year 1999. Emission data from years 1990-1998 will be updated in the future. Heavy metal emissions in 1990-2008
Finland reports emissions of the following eight heavy metals: arsenic, cadmium, chrome, copper, lead, mercury, nickel and zinc. Emissions of vanadium are also calculated, but emissions of selenium are not estimated in time series. The main sources of heavy metal emissions in Finland are production of non-ferrous metals and waste incineration.

* Emission data from year 1999 is missing. This emission data will be added with timeseries (1990-1998) updating.
** Emission data will be rechecked with timeseries updating. Emissions of persistent organic compunds in 1990-2008
Finland reports emissions of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as the sum of benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene (PAH-4). The emissions of dioxins and furans (PCDD/F), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and pentachlorophenols (PCP) are also included in the reporting. In Finland, the sources of these compounds are mainly in incopmlete combustion. The use of POP compounds is restiricted or forbidden.
