Manual for air emissions accounts - Products Manuals and Guidelines

This Manual describes the conceptual foundations of air emissions accounts (AEA) and provides methodological guidelines for the compilation of AEA. AEA is one of the modules of the European environmental economic accounts. AEA record the flows of gaseous and particulate materials from the national economy into the atmosphere (=air emissions). AEA present air emissions in a breakdown by emitting economic activity; the latter comprise production and consumption activities as defined and delineated in national accounts. This manual primarily addresses compilers of AEA but also the users of AEA who are interested in understanding more of the underlying statistical details. The 2015 edition of the manual revises the previous 2009 edition.
