Emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), by source sector

SELECT

The indicator tracks trends since 1990 in anthropogenic atmospheric emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) by source sector.
The indicator also provides information on emissions by sectors: Energy production and distribution; Energy use in industry; Industrial processes; Road transport; Non-road transport; Commercial, institutional and households; Solvent and product use; Agriculture; Waste; Other.

Interpretation aid

Contribution to the green economy:

Non-methane emissions are a part of these emissions, and have mainly consequences for regional air quality. A decreasing trend is therefore perceived as positive for GE.

Potential misinterpretation:

Are non-methane emissions decreasing, but methan which is the most import part of VOC and a very harmful greenhouse gas is not considered?

Related Indicator:

Greenhouse gas emissions

Potential misinterpretation:

Are emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds decreasing, but nitrogen oxides emissions rising?

Related Indicator:

Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), by source sector

Potential misinterpretation:

Are emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds decreasing, but the emissions of other organic matter is increasing?
