päästökerrointen
Päästökerroin, often translated as emission factor, is a coefficient that relates the quantity of a pollutant released to a given amount of a specific activity. It quantifies the emission rate of a specific pollutant per unit of activity. For example, an emission factor for a vehicle might be expressed as grams of carbon dioxide emitted per kilometer driven. Similarly, an emission factor for an industrial process could be kilograms of sulfur dioxide released per ton of fuel consumed.
These factors are crucial for calculating and estimating greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants from various
Governments, researchers, and industries use emission factors to assess environmental impact, develop emission inventories, and implement
