Greenhouse gas verification for improved air quality
Developing a GHG emissions inventory for your business activities presents an ideal opportunity to address the associated air pollutant emissions that can adversely impact air quality, relating to both human health and ecosystems.
Such emissions might include oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia (NH3), and more.
In many cases, these pollutants will be emitted via the same activities as those for GHGs, including but not limited emissions from vehicles, onsite heating/power plant, back-up power generation, industrial facilities, intensive farming processes, and construction activities.
The streamlining of GHG and air pollutant inventories allows the relevant emissions reduction strategies / action plans / performance targets etc. to include common measures targeted at both GHG and air pollutants, ensuring a path towards net zero can align with a net air quality improvement.
