1. INTRODUCTION
1.1.BackgroundThe APINA Phase III ac tivities a im to enha nc e the tec hnica l capac ity of APINA
mem bers in a ir pollution a ssessme nt in the Southern Afric an Develop me ntCo mmunity (SADC) reg ion. One of the ob jec tives during this Pha se is to ensure
tha t c apac ity to p rep are emissions invento ries is de veloped .
Two ma in ac tivities were p rop osed , during the first yea r name ly, to train the
Task Team Leader (TTL) a t the Sto ckho lm Environmenta l Institute in York (SEI-Y)
and organize a training workshop in Ma law i for Task Tea m Me mbers (TTMs) from
the seven p articipa ting c ountries.
A practical-oriented training workshop was organized at Protea Ryalls Hotel in
Blantyre, drawing participants from South Africa , Botswa na , Mo zamb ique ,Zimb abwe , Zamb ia , Ma lawi and Tanzania . The w orkshop wa s coo rd ina ted by
the TTL and fa c ilita ted by Mr Harry Va llack from SEI-Y.
Mr Grey Munthali, Deputy Director of the Department of Meteorological
Servic es, officia lly op ene d the workshop .
The w orkshop rep ort covers the ma in highlights ac hieved during the 4-day
workshop.
1.2.Objec tives of the workshop
The m a in ob jec tives of the training w orkshop were to t rain the APINA Emissions
Inventory Task Team Members in the use o f the revised APINA Emissions Ma nua l,
covering all aspects of the methodology for compilation of emissions
invento ries including:
The em ission source struc ture o f the manua l. The c ha rac teristics and ma jor em ission sources of the polluta nts to be
inventoried.
Top -dow n versus botto m up approa ches.
Internationa l da tabases for the a c tivity da ta .
2. WORKSHOP CONTENTS2.1.The workshop outline
Part 1: The a ir pollution prob lem and the need for emission inventories
Emissions, whether at household, urban, peri-urban or regional level, cause
multiple environmental problems which include impacts on human and
animal health, crops, ecosystems and materials. Compilation of emissions
inventories provides valuable data for modelling on movement, deposition
of a ir polluta nts and for estima ting the effec ts of a ir polluta nts. The
-

inventories also inform the policy makers and the public on how to prioritise
and set objectives for reducing emissions; and to develop current and
future mitiga tion strateg ies by source.
The ma jor emissions and / or prec ursors inc lude d in the APINA emissions
inventory manua l are sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx),
particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO)and non-me thane volatile orga nic compo unds (NMVOCs).
Figure 1 shows the air pollution cycle that is made up of emissions, transport,
dep osition a nd imp ac ts of the a ir pollutants.
Figure 1: Imp ac ts of a ir pollution on the env ironm ent.
Part 2: The b asics of emissions inventory c om pilation
The a ir polluta nt emissions invento ry, whether natural or anthropog enic ,
computes a detailed account of the type and quantity of pollutant by
source, area and time. The sources c ould b e large or ma ny sma ll sources.
The inventory com p ila tion p roc ess is c om plex henc e it requires c areful and
methodical planning and preparations to ensure quality data collection,ac c urate and timely co mp utation and qua lity co ntrol/ a ssuranc e.
The APINA emissions invento ry manua l has bene fited from the best ava ilab le
methodologies such as those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Cha nge (IPCC), Europ ea n Mo nitoring and Eva luat ion Prog ramm e/ Core
Inventory of Air Emissions (EMEP/ CORINAIR), United Sta te s Environment
Protec tion Ag enc y (USEPA AP-42) and southe rn Afric a reg iona l stud ies suc h
as the Southern Afric an Regiona l Sc ienc e Initiat ive (SAFARI) 2000.
Depending on the availability of data, both bottom-up and top-down
ap proac hes could b e used .

The APINA m anua l covers the fo llowing sec to rs: ene rgy, industria l proc esses,
agriculture, vegetation fires and forestry, waste, natural sources and large
point source s.
Useful international sources of data were covered such as the International
Energy Agenc y (IEA) Energy Sta tistics and Ba lanc es, United Nations (UN)
Industria l Com mod ity Sta tistics Yea rboo k and the UN Foo d and Ag ricultureOrganisa tion online da ta base (FAOSTAT). Partic ipa nts were a lso
encouraged to use regional sources and data from credible institutions such
as SAFARI 2000, nationa l sta tistica l offic es, etc .
The fina l pa rt o f the p resenta tion c ove red va rious aspec ts of units, prefixes
and conversion of units of activity data and emission factors used in the
inventory prep arat ion, not ing tha t no t a ll institutions use o r app ly SI units in
the sam e way.
Part 3: Compiling emissions by sec tor: The energy sourc es
The p resenta tion addressed the fo llow ing issues:
General ap proa ch ba sed on: Emission (E)= Emission Fac tor (EF) x Ac tivity rate Where loc a l EFs a re no t a va ilab le, defa ult EFs from USEPA
AP-42, IPCC or EMEP/ CORINAIR c ould be used .
Emissions from combustion activities. Fuel ca tegories and source s as shown in Tab les 1 and 2,
respectively.

line da tabase (FAOSTAT) for p rod uc tion of p ulp and paper and
fertilizers.
Participa nts then d id som e p rac tica l wo rk using d ummy da ta .
Part 5: Compiling emissions for solvents and other produc t use
This source c a tegory is not of significa nc e to mo st c ount ries in Africa .
The use o f solvents and othe r prod uc ts (pa ints, varnishes, glues) c an
be a major source of non-methane volatile organic compound
(NMVOC) emissions. Ma jor sourc es are:
Paint a pp lic a tion (solvent b ased ). Paint application (water based). Metal degreasing. Dry c lea ning of fa bric s. Chemical prod ucts ma nufac ture. Other uses of solvents.
Various subc a tegories and the ir respec tive d efa ult emission fac to rs we re
presented.
Part 6: Com piling emissions from agriculture
Ag riculture is a ma jor ec ono mic sec tor in all the APINA c ount ries. Seve ra l
type s of agric ultura l prac tices em it p ollutants relevant to:
Trea tment of livestoc k manures.
Ap p lic a tion o f fertilizers. Burning of sava nna s. Burning of a gricu ltura l residue s.
The f irst tw o a re sourc es of a mmonia (NH3) emissions; the last two em it a
range o f a ir polluta nts NOx, sulphur oxide s (SOx), CO, NMVOC s, NH3, and
particulate ma tter (PM).
Part 7: Compiling emissions from vegeta tion fires and forestry
This forms one of the imp orta nt sec to rs for the APINA c ountries as its impac ts
are transboundary in nature. Forest fires have been traditionally used for
ma ny years in such p rac tices as hunting, op ening up of new farm land s and
clearing of grazing lands and for forestry management. Further, forest fires
ma y also b e c aused acc identa lly by ma n or natura lly by lighting.
Emissions included in this sector are CO, NO x, sulphur d ioxide (SO2),
NMVOCs and PM.
Part 8: Emissions from treatm ent and disposal o f wa stes
This p resenta tion c overed emissions a rising from
municipal/commercial/industrial solid waste disposal through waste

inc inerat ion and a mmonia emissions from pit latrines. The em issions
inc luded were SO2, NOx, CO, NMVOCs, NH3, and PM. Emissions from
landfills, and sewage treatment are mostly methane (CH4) /carbon dioxide
(CO2). These a re not inc luded in the APINA manua l.
Part 9: Compiling emissions from large point sources
Large point sources were discussed but it was agreed that detailed
coverag e o f the sec to r should b e c overed in the ne xt tra ining session.
Part 10: Prac tical sessions in inventory c om pilation
Dummy data was provided to help participants practise working with the
Exce l spreadsheet . The p rac tica l sessions a lso gave to the partic ipa nts the
op portunity to interac t w ith the trainer and the TTL. This helped to highlight
some areas which still required to be simplified, debugged, changed,added or whose d efa ult em ission fa c to rs req uired further verific a tion.
3. WORKSHOP ACHIEVEMENTS/ CONCLUSIONS3.1.AttendanceAll the seven APINA co untries a ttended the workshop . Two p articipants we re
invited from e ac h co untry, and a ll c ame w ith the exception of South Africa ,
which was only ab le to send one p articipant. In ad d ition, Ma lawi wa s ab le to
accommodate a self-sponsored additional member from the University ofMa lawi. Thus a tota l of 14 participants we re trained , aga inst a ta rget o f 10 in
the p rojec t d oc ument (see Append ix 1 for list o f partic ipants).
The q uality of p artic ipants wa s very go od as evidenc ed by their ac tive level of
participa tion and c ontribution to the improveme nt of the APINA Ma nual.
