State of the Environment Report - the Slovak Republic 1997 Total Emissions of Basic Polluting Substances Emissions of basic polluting substances within the territory of the Slovak Republic are regularly monitored and the results are updated in a database called "The Register of Emissions on Air Pollution Sources (REZZO) ; this data has been recorded since 1985 by SHMU in Bratislava. The register is divided into 4 categories according to ihe output, size and type of the source of the emissions: REZZO 1 - stationary units for fuel combustion with a total thermal output of more than 5 MW (large pollution sources with the heaviest impact on the environment). In addition to these, selected technologies are included. This database comprises continually recorded data since 1985 with 982 facilitators of pollution sources being registered. REZZO 2 - stationary units for fuel combustion with a total thermal output of 0.2 to 5 MW (medium pollution sources with medium impact on the environment. Also include are certain selected technologies. The third data update, completed in 1996, was carried out in co-operation with environmental offices within the period 1993-1996. REZZO 3 - stationary local units for fuel combustion with small pollution sources with a total thermal output of less than 0.2 MW. This database is being annually updated with emissions calculations based on the emission factors and total fuel consumption data. REZZO 4 - mobile units, regardless of their output. The COPERT Method, recommended by 'The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (Geneva 1979) 'for its member states, is used for emission data calculation. Data for 1996 are available. Between 1996 and 1997, emission reductions in all fundamental polluting substances were recorded.

Methane emissions have reached the level of 320 thousand tonnes (in 1990 it was more than 400 thousand tonnes). N2O total emissions have been estimated at 8 thousand tonnes (as opposed to 13 thousand tonnes in 1990). Greenhouse gases emissions peaked at the end of 1980's. Between 1990 and 1994 a 25% decrease was registered. Since 1994, a slight increase in the amount of emissions has been recorded.
