This report provides a summary of activities and products from the European Environment Agency's Topic Centre on Air Emissions (ETC/AE) during 1996. ETC/AE started work with National Reference Centres (NRCs) on the CORINAIR94 Air Emission Inventory based on proposals and recommendations prepared by ETC/AE in 1995. The CORINAIR94 software was distributed to all participating EEA (18) as well as to other countries, for example in Central and Eastern Europe. Preliminary CORINAIR94 emission estimates provided by NRCs to ETC/AE were published by the Agency in mid 1996. A more complete update of the 1994 emission data will be published by the Agency later in 1997. The main attributes and outputs from ETC/AE are presented in this report.
