The National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) provides the community, industry and government with free information about substance emissions in Australia.
The NPI shows emission estimates for 93 toxic substances and the source and location of these emissions.
The NPI is a cooperative program implemented by the Australian, state and territory governments.

Through the NPI, you can find out what substances are being emitted to air, land and water in your community from different sources like cars, power stations and factories.
Around 4000 facilities from a wide range of industry sectors report annually to the NPI. Reporting facilities should provide 2007-08 facility data to their state or territory environment agency by 30 September 2008.
At the meeting of the Environment Protection and Heritage Council in June 2007, Ministers agreed to vary the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) National Environment Protection Measure (NEPM). The variation will put into place a number of changes including the reporting of transfers of NPI substances in waste to final destination, reporting of new substances, a lowered usage threshold for mercury and compounds and a change in the release date of annual data.
