National Pollutant Inventory (NPI)
The National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) is Australia's national database of pollutants emitted into the environment. The database has been designed to provide the community, industry and government with information on chemicals being emitted to the air, land and water. EPA has the responsibility for implementing the NPI program in Victoria.
