Emission data (E-PRTR, Waterbase - Emissions, Inventory of emissions) offer limited information on pesticides. Their substance lists are restricted and do not include many pesticides. E-PRTR thresholds, which set volume limits below which it is not necessary to report, mean that only the largest sources are reported. Diffuse sources - which are likely to be very important for pesticides - are not included or only roughly estimated in these inventories. For most substances the inventories include only a very low share of all emissions of the addressed substances.
