Method

Emissions from category 6.C.d - Cremation are not a key source and of minor priority. Since March 1997, a national legal ordinance for cremation plants nationwide is in force (27. BImSchV).

Activity data

Activity data for this category are updated by data from the statistics of the "Bundesverband Deutscher Bestatter e.V."

Emission factors

Most emission factors used are defaults from the EMEP/CORINAIR Atmospheric emission inventory guidebook.
EF for TSP, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 derive from research study "Studie zur Korngrößenverteilung (PM₁₀ und PM_2,5) von Staubemissionen" [1].
