What is in the air we breathe


As shown below this data taken from the 2006 NPI database gives you some idea. The figures reported are total kg of estimated emissions by Kwinana Industry for that reporting year.
.
It is worth noting that NPI data has been proven to be a seriously underestimated view of the real emissions, the data reported below as 0.00 does not necessarily mean zero emissions of that substance, but rather the emissions are not known not reported or way underestimated.

Steve, the NPI can only be as good as the figures they receive.

Seeing as Kwinana has no pollution,it's just a figament again. Why are certain companies complaining about carbon emission laws being bought in?
