-
Atmospheric emissions: acid rain precursors by industry and gas
The emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, ammonia, and total acid rain precursors, by industry (SIC 2007 group – around 130 categories), UK, 1990 to 2022 and provisional 2023.
-
Atmospheric emissions: other pollutants by industry and gas
The emissions of Particulate Matter 10 (PM10), PM2.5, carbon monoxide, non-methane volatile organic compound, benzene and 1,3-butadiene, by industry (SIC 2007 group – around 130 categories), UK, 1990 to 2022 and provisional 2023.
-
Atmospheric emissions: greenhouse gas emissions intensity by industry
