1  The integrated environmental and economic accounts use the national accounts definition of Norwegian economic activity (resicence principle) and not the geographic definition of Norwegian territory (territorial principle) used for reporting to the Kyoto proctocol and other international air emissions reporting systems.
2  Measured as tonnes emissions million 2000-NOK output. Consumption and emissions from households are not included.
3  Greenhouse gas calculations include CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6.
4  Acidification gas calculations include NOx, SO2 and NH3 emissions.
5  Ozone precursor calculations include NOx, NMVOC, CO and CH4 emissions.
6  Figure for 2009 corrected 19. May at 12.30.
