Abstract
This report is the first report from the project `Use of critical loads and other possible concepts for environmental impact assessment`. The aim of the project is to find ways of using e.g. critical loads in the planning of new energy production plants. The first step in the work includes emissions of sulphur and nitrogen. Emissions from a plant must be seen from a system point of view. In case a new plant using new technology replaces an existing one, the net change in emissions may be a decrease. A complication is that many areas in southern Sweden are heavily influenced from European emissions. Contribution from one single emission source to total air concentrations, deposition, environmental effects and to critical loads and levels is in many cases very small. A first step in the environmental planning process is to decide upon acceptable amounts of local emissions. A number of ways of comparing the emissions in different regions have been tested, such as amounts emitted in relation to area, number of inhabitants, and to local critical loads. The emissions of sulphur in Sweden have decreased with 80% in relation to the base year 1980. This is equivalent to the reduction agreed

From a national point of view sulphur emission abatements are less important than other environment measures. Areas with high spatial emissions, around the largest cities and areas where the local deposition contributions exceed the critical loads may be exceptions. For nitrogen oxides, only minor changes in emissions have occurred between 1985 and today. Major reductions might be expected during the next ten years. The Swedish ecosystems will also benefit from decreases in the rest of Europe. The continuation of the work will deal with ozone and greenhouse gases.}
