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.

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.
