Specialized statistical survey.

Yearly.

The survey on sources of emissions is conducted by means of questionnaire completed by all economic subjects, which composition of activities includes:

• processes for energy production (covered by the spent fuels);
• processes for production of other output (covered by the spent materials, output, etc.).

The questionnaire is collected by correspondence way on paper, and via e-mail.

Comparing the data with those reported in the previous year concerning incorrect measure units and incorrect data by code on fuel of heating and industrial processes.

The emissions are estimated by using a calculation method based on the indicators: consumed fuels, Sulphur contents, calorific value, quantity of produced output and invested raw materials, as well as emission factors applicable to the respective pollutants.
