National Emissions Inventory (NEI) Air Pollutant Emissions Trends Data
Current emissions trends data and the documentation of estimation methods are
available, or linked from here. The latest version of the 1970 - 2006 data shows trends for Tier 1 categories. Information about the NEI is available on the NEI webpage. One of the distinct and natural occurrences in inventory development is the evolution and improvement of
emission estimate methods over time. In some cases, an improved estimation method for a source category may be applied 'backwards' to previous year
estimates for that same category. Any changes in the data or methodologies used to estimate the emissions for a specific time period will continue to be noted
in future updates to the procedures documents.
