Caveats & Comments
Secondary organic carbon is not included in these inventories.
Units are Gg per 1x1 cell per year.
Divisions other than fossil/biofuel/open burning can be considered. We are busy, so please be patient...
Inventories are done with uncertainties. Low and high values may be posted here in the future. They are presently available by request.
We are working on more current inventories. Year 2000 is available on the Historical page (strangely).
How it's done: SPEW (Special Pollutant Emission Wizard)
