Emission data

Sweden's reporting of transboundary air pollutants

In accordance with the Air Pollution Convention (CLRTAP) and EU’s NEC Directive (2001/81/EC) Sweden annually compiles and reports data on emissions of air pollutants.

Water pollutants

Emissions of polluting substances to water have affected Swedish inland waters and surrounding seas. They have given rise to eutrophication and elevated levels of organic contaminants and some heavy metals.

Hazardous substances

There are many clients and consumers of statistics on hazardous substances, the most important being the Swedish Government and Riksdag, the European Commission and the UN.
