Table explanation
This table presents an overview of environmental and economic key figures
that illustrate the contribution to environmental issues (greenhouse
effect, acidification, etc.), environmental expenditure (costs, taxes,
etc.) and the economic position (value added, labour input, etc.) of
sectors of industry. All figures are taken from existing (Dutch) StatLine
publications. The indicators presented can be used for analysis and to
support environmental-economic government policy.
Data available from: 1995
Frequency: cancelled by november 21, 2011.
Status of the figures:
Figures in this publication are updated yearly according to the updates of
the StatLine source publications.
Changes compared with previous version:

When will new figures be published?
This table has been replaced by a table based on the new industry classification (SBI 2008).

Description topics
- Environment: pollution
- Environmental pollution as a result of human activities.
- Climate change (greenhouse gases)
- Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere retain part of the solar heat that
reaches the earth. The increased concentration of greenhouse gases means
more warmth is retained and the temperature of the earth's surface rises.
This is called the "enhanced greenhouse effect". The most important
greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), laughing gas
(N2O), HFCs, PFCs and SF6.
The total impact of the various greenhouse emissions can be expressed in
CO2-equivalents. One CO2-equivalent is equal to the emission of one
kilogram of carbon dioxide (CO2). The emission of one kg of methane equals
21 CO2-equivalents and the emission of one kg of laughing gas equals 310
CO2-equivalents. Fluor (chlorine) hydrocarbon gases each have a high
CO2-equivalent, but as the total emissions of these gases is low, their
contribution to the total greenhouse gas emissions is small.
