Chlorinated organic chemical emissionsData on emissions to air and water for 22 chlorinated substances have been collected since 1985. This data includes all the chlorinated products in the EPER (European Pollutant Emission Register) list but also several others. Between 1985 and 2004 there has been a 99% reduction in the total tonnage released to water and 93% in that released to air. A target of a further 75% reduction to water and 50% to air has been set for 2010 compared to the 2001 baseline. In 2004 pentchlorobenzene was added to the list of chemicals being monitored.
