PM10 emissions caused by the woodworking industry in Switzerland

PM10 emissions derived from wood processing in Switzerland's woodworking industry were estimated using two different approaches. Input data were provided by the woodworking associations and based on a written survey of selected branches of the woodworking industry. The upper extrapolation limits estimated for national PM10 wood dust emissions were 110 t/a and 318 t/a, respectively, which corresponds to a maximum of 1% or 3% of the total national industry emissions.
