Emission sources
Based on activity data / system of OLI(Austrian inventory system)
First PM inventory for Austria completed in 2001
Update completed by end 2007
Follows CORINAIR SNAP categories, adaptations for PM emissions
Considers international activities, when documented

Combustion/release conditions
Installation type (very efficient abatement)

Potential emissions
Fugitive emissions: small emission rate at large area
Source-based measurements frequently provide alarming estimates: (road dust suspension) Animal housing Field operations Rail transport Quarries Wind blown dust
Discrepancy between release potential and actual release

Situation in Europe
Some national activities are in place
Combustion emissionen well covered (relatively to fugitive) – still far from satisfactory
Certain sectors receive more attention: transport, stack-based industrial emissions
Priorities for future work: agriculture, construction, quarries
