Arctic Mercury Releases Inventory
Table 4-3 Reported releases from coal use, to the atmosphere and to all media, respectively, coal consumption data, and roughly calculated emission factors. See discussion in text (Hg data from questionnaire responses and ACAP, 2004; coal consumption data from IEA, 2003 and 2003b).

Notes: *1: Sum of reported outputs to all media include Hg outputs to sector specific deposits and by-products (gypsum construction panels etc.) for Denmark and Finland, but not for USA. *2: Reference:
EMEP/CORINAIR (2002); DC = dust control only; FGD = flue gas desulphurisation; hard coal and brown coal. *3: Reference: USEPA (1998); applies for facilities with dust control only, and for facilities
with FGD and dust control; value derived from many facilities firing bituminous coal and sub-bituminous coal, and few firing lignite. *4: Consumption figures for the same year as mercury releases were
reported for, except for USA for which reported atmospheric releases were from 1999, other releases for 2001, and energy data were for 2000 (see reporting years for atmospheric releases in table 3-4,
and for other releases in questionnaire responses and ACAP, 2004 in appendices. Comparisons among totals reported for the different countries should be made with caution, since the reported data for
each country have differing levels of associated uncertainty, see section 2.2.3.
