Chart (static)
An outlier removal and data cleaning exercise has been performed on the original officially reported data. In addition to pollutant emissions, the graph also shows the trend in the number of facilities reporting emissions data in this sector. The following activity is covered: 5d in Annex I to the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) Regulation (‘Landfills (excluding landfills of inert waste and landfills which were closed before 16.7.2001 or for which the after-care phase required by the competent authorities according to Article 13 of the Landfill Directive; receiving 10 tonnes per day or with a total capacity of 25 000 tonnes’).

Methodology
Emissions data reported to E-PRTR. Emissions indexed to 2010. There has been an outlier removal and data cleaning exercise on the original/official reported data, based on assessing the average emissions reported by other landfills and the landfill in question which had produced an outlier, and apply expert judgment on each data point.
