Abstract
Comparisons have been made on the international ecological guidelines CORINAIR, IPCC, and the GHG Protocol, which implement evaluation of the uncertainties in pollution discharges to the atmosphere, greenhouse gases, and metrological guidelines on estimating the uncertainty of GUM measurements. The main sources of uncertainty are identified and their values are estimated together with their contribution to the general uncertainty in the estimation of greenhouse gas discharges.
