Fig. 3: Comparisons of bottom-up inventories of CH3Br emissions from China during 2011−2020.
From: Unexplained high and persistent methyl bromide emissions in China
a Total bottom-up emissions of CH3Br in China during 2011−2020. The stacked bars represent the emissions from each sector included in this study. b Comparisons of total bottom-up estimates between this study and Choi et al.17, Fang et al.21, and fumigation emissions including quarantine and pre-shipment (QPS) and non-QPS sector based on consumption data reported to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). c Emissions from seven added sectors in this study. The stacked bars represent the emissions from seven added emission sectors in this study; combined, they are similar in magnitude to the fumigation emissions based on UNEP consumption data. Note that fumigation includes QPS and non-QPS applications.
