Non-road fuel consumption and pollutant emissions FOEN 2008 64 7.3 Emissions in 2005 Figure 31 shows the proportions of the various polluter groups to non-road emissions for the four classical pollutants carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulate matter (PM). Different machine categories are the main sources of emissions, according to pollutant. In the case of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC), agricultural machines account for by far the highest proportion of emissions. This is mainly attributable to the fact that the single-axle mowers used in this sector have a relatively high engine rated power as well as very high load factors. Appliances used in the garden-care/hobby sector also account for a significant proportion of non-road CO and HC emissions, primarily as a consequence of the widespread use of petrol engines in this category. As far as nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulate matter (PM) are concerned, agricultural and construction machinery account for by far the highest proportion of emissions. In addition, a significant proportion of non-road NO x and PM emissions is attributable to machines used in the industrial sector.

7.3 Emissions in 2005<br />

Figure 31 shows the proportions of the various polluter groups to non-<strong>road</strong> <strong>emissions</strong><br />

for the four classical <strong>pollutant</strong>s carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen<br />

oxides (NO x ) <strong>and</strong> particulate matter (PM). Different machine categories are the main<br />

sources of <strong>emissions</strong>, according to <strong>pollutant</strong>.<br />

In the case of carbon monoxide (CO) <strong>and</strong> hydrocarbons (HC), agricultural machines<br />

account for by far the highest proportion of <strong>emissions</strong>. This is mainly attributable to the<br />

fact that the single-axle mowers used in this sector have a relatively high engine rated<br />

power as well as very high load factors. Appliances used in the garden-care/hobby<br />

sector also account for a significant proportion of non-<strong>road</strong> CO <strong>and</strong> HC <strong>emissions</strong>,<br />

primarily as a consequence of the widespread use of petrol engines in this category.<br />

<strong>and</strong> construction machinery account for by far the highest proportion of <strong>emissions</strong>. In<br />

addition, a significant proportion of non-<strong>road</strong> NO x <strong>and</strong> PM <strong>emissions</strong> is attributable to<br />
