Methods of calculating emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere and estimating their uncertainty

The main sources of uncertainty when calculating emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere are considered. An Ishikawa cause and effect diagram is used for a qualitative analysis of the uncertainty factors. The particular features of different methods of calculating the emissions are considered and the values of the overall uncertainty of the results of calculations and their main components are estimated.
