The Resource Compendium of PRTR Release Estimation Techniques provides OECD countries with basic information on the techniques used to quantify releases and transfers from point and diffuse sources for a PRTR. It consists of three separate volumes: Part 1 summarises techniques for point sources and Part 2 for diffuse sources. This Part 3 concludes the Resource Compendium and describes techniques used to estimate the amounts of pollutants transferred off-site.

This report briefly presents over 100 examples of uses of PRTR data from many different countries and a variety of PRTR systems. PRTR data is used by the public, industry, governments, investment community and academic research institutions. The publication also presents several available tools that provide assistance for the effective use of PRTR data, such as geographic information system (GIS), toxicity weighting, normalization, risk screening and environmental indicators. In addition, the document provides up-to-date website addresses of the used information sources.

OECD published three Emission Scenario Documents (ESDs) which describe methods for estimating emissions of chemicals from various industry sectors and from uses of chemicals. They relate to the following industry/use categories: Lubricants, Metal Finishing , and Automobile Coating . Including these three, OECD has so far published 11 ESDs. Users of these ESDs are encouraged to provide updated information for their continuous improvement.

In November 2004, the OECD member countries agreed on the principles for validating (Q)SAR models for their use in regulatory assessment of chemical safety. (Q)SARs are methods for estimating the toxicity and other properties of a chemical from its molecular structure. They have been used in regulatory assessment of chemical safety in some OECD countries for many years, but not in others. The agreed principles and associated report from the OECD Expert Group on (Q)SARs will contribute to their enhanced use for more efficient assessment of chemical safety.

The Resource Centre provides a clearinghouse of guidance manuals/documents of
release estimation techniques for the principal pollutant release and transfer registers developed by OECD member countries. The manuals and documents include descriptive information on the sources of pollution and the pollutants that are released, as well as information on emission factors, mass balance methods, engineering calculations, and monitoring information. The Resource Centre will be updated on a regular basis to include additional and new documents as they become available.
