Air emissions inventories are a critical component of managing air quality and need to be updated regularly to gauge how emissions are tracking in the region. The Auckland air emissions inventory is a comprehensive inventory that includes all significant sources: transport, domestic heating and industry.

This report estimates emissions to air in the Auckland region for 2016 specifically from domestic home heating. Emissions are estimated for fine particles (PM₁₀ and PM_2.5), oxides of nitrogen (NO_x), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulphur dioxide (SO₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).

This report focuses primarily on PM₁₀ because, of the air pollutants that are measured in Auckland, fine particles (PM₁₀ and PM_2.5) are still of most concern.
