English Abstract This document is a product of the SPEED project (Source
reduction cooperation Project aimed at Effective Emission reduction from
Diffuse sources). An inventory has been drawn up for the emissions to air
and surfacewaters in the Netherlands of seven chlorinated hydrocarbons:
dichloromethane, chloroform, carbontetrachloride, 1,1-trichloroethane,
1,2-dichloroethane, tri-chloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, for which
abatement measures are presented. Using the STRAVERA model, future trends
in emissions and surface water loading have been computed for three
scenarios: (1) established policy, (2) planned policy and (3) additional
measures. Because of the fast proceeding of the established and planned
policy regarding the chlorinated hydrocarbons scenario (1) and (2) are
presented together. The results of the calculations are compared with the
government policy target (North Sea Action Plan). Although this target of
50% reduction in surface water loading in 1995 can be achieved for all seven
chlorinated hydrocarbons, extra attention must be paid to the development of
the emissions of chloroform, dichloroethane, and tetrachloroethylene. This
study shows, in fact, that this extra attention is certainly necessary
because replacement occurs of one chlorinated hydrocarbon by the other. In
"action tabels", an indications is given of which abatement measures should
be taken by which organization, in order to result in a decrease of the
emissions of the chlorinated hydrocarbons.
