POLLUTANTS: Ten years of National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) data

Information on reported emissions to Australia's air, land and water during 2007-08 was made available on 31 March 2009 with the publication of the annual data for the NPI. The NPI is a publicly accessible database containing information on emissions of 93 substances from more than 4100 industrial facilities around the country. The NPI also includes data from non-industry diffuse sources such as domestic household activities and motor vehicles. The NPI is a collaborative program between all Australian jurisdictions under the NPI National Environment Protection Measure (NEPM). This was the tenth NPI reporting year.
