Short description
The sub-category 2.C.5 - Other Metal Industry includes lead production, thermal galvanisation, copper production and zinc production. The main pollutants are PM, SO2 and organic substances like PCDD/F.
Methodological issues
Activity data
The production figures for the year 2012 were taken from the annual statistical report of the German non ferrous metals association (WirtschaftsVereinigung Metalle).
Emission factors
The emission factors are either default values according to IPCC guidelines or determined in several research projects.

Recalculations
Recalculations were necessary due to corrected misallocation in NFR 2.C.5.c and 2.C.5.e.
