Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.


This table contains information about the origin and destination of emissions to water of nutrients and heavy metals. These data are part of the environmental accounts. The origin of the emissions to water can be divided into the Dutch economy (disaggregated by private households and industries) and the rest of the world. The destination can be divided into absorption by producers, drain off emissions to the rest of the world and contribution to the environmental problem. The figures in this table can be compared in a consistent way to macro-economic indicators. Furthermore, water emission accounts indicators can be derived for the emissions of heavy metals into water and the eutrophication of surface waters. These indicators can be used for supporting water policy.

Data available from: 1995-2010

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table for the last year are provisional. The figures for the other years are final. Because this table is discontinued, figures will not be updated anymore.

Changes as of January 30, 2015:
None, this table is discontinued.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable anymore. This table is replaced by table: Environmental accounts; emissions to water, origin and destination. See paragraph 3.

Description topics

Emissions to water, heavy metals
A group of metals with a high atomic weight, in particular metals with high toxicity, such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, lead, nickel and zinc.
Total heavy metals (in equivalents)
Heavy metals are metals with a high atomic weight.
The emissions of the different heavy metals can be converted to heavy metals equivalents and then add up. The level of harmfulness of the metal to the environment is taken into account in the conversion.
---
It concerns in particular heavy metals with high toxicity, such as aresenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, lead, nickel and zinc.
Arsenic compounds like As
The sum of arsenic compounds, measured as the total amount of arsenic that is present in those compounds.
Cadmium compounds like Cd
The sum of cadmium compounds, measured as the total amount of cadmium that is present in those compounds.
Chromic compounds like Cr
The sum of chromic compounds, measured as the total amount of chromium that is present in those compounds.
Copper compounds like Cu
The sum of copper compounds, measured as the total amount of copper that is present in those compounds.
Mercury compounds like Hg
The sum of mercury compounds, measured as the total amount of mercury that is present in those compounds.
Lead compounds like Pb
The sum of lead compounds, measured as the total amount of lead that is present in those compounds.
Nickel compounds like Ni
The sum of nickel compounds, measured as the total amount of nickel that is present in those compounds.
Zinc compounds like Zn
The sum of zinc compounds, measured as the total amount of zinc that is present in those compounds.
