El Inventario de emisiones de contaminantes atmosféricos es un instrumento estratégico de gestión ambiental debido a que permite identificar quiénes son los generadores de emisiones y su aporte de contaminantes a la atmósfera por sector. Un inventario está formado por las estimaciones de todas las emisiones de contaminantes que se generan en un área determinada; tales emisiones pueden provenir de las industrias, los comercios, los servicios, los hogares, los vehículos automotores, las aeronaves, los suelos y la vegetación, entre otros. 1, record 2, Spanish, - Inventario%20de%20emisiones%20de%20contaminantes%20atmosf%C3%A9ricos

AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS. ... Estimated 1980 Canadian emissions of NOx [nitrogen oxides], HC [hydrocarbons] and CO [carbon monoxides] are given in Tables 1, 2 and 3. It may be noted from these tables that a wide variety of sources contribute to the national totals; nevertheless, for each pollutant, LDV's in the transportation sector are the largest single-source group and the discussion that follows will focus on transportation and LDV's. 1, record 4, English, - air%20pollutant%20emission
