INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Data in Region Details contains information about the Selected Region and Data Year. From the Regions screen, click the View Region Details button or click the name of the region. Note that all the data in Region Details is nominal; it is not adjusted for inflation.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA DETAILS
IMPLAN’s environmental data consist of ratios representing physical emissions or inputs per dollar of Industry Output, with the physical unit depending on the particular pollutant or input under consideration. IMPLAN’s environmental coefficients or ratios, came from the EPA’s Environmentally-Extended Input-Output model (EEIO) data (version 1.1). While the ratios are Industry-specific, the EPA data have somewhat less Industry-specificity than the IMPLAN data, such that some EPA ratios are mapped to more than one IMPLAN Industry; in other words, some IMPLAN Industries have the same environmental ratios. These ratios can be applied to the IMPLAN modeling system in order to gain insight into the environmental impacts associated with economic impact scenarios.
Below is the list of the eight major groups of environmental data, termed satellite accounts. Each satellite account has a number of more-detailed “tags” that represent more specific types within the broader group.
- Criteria Pollutants (Air)
- Greenhouse Gases (Air)
- Land Use (Resource)
- Mineral Use (Resource)
- Nitrogen and Phosphorus Release to Water (Water)
- Pesticide Emissions (Air, Soil & Water)
- Toxic Chemical Releases (Air, Soil & Water)
- Water Use (Water & Resource)
REGION ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMARY
This top table totals each of the eight satellite accounts of environmental pollutants by the 546 IMPLAN Industries.
-
- Criteria Pollutants = total kilograms of particulate matter, photochemical oxidants, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides, and lead released to air
- Greenhouse Gases = total kilograms of gases that trap heat in the atmosphere
- Land Use = total square meters of land for human use
- Mineral Use = total kilograms of primary metals and nonmetallic minerals
- Nitrogen and Phosphorus Release to Water = total kilograms of nitrogen and phosphorus released to water
- Pesticide Emissions = total kilograms of chemical or biological agents used for pest control emitted directly or indirectly into the air, soil, and/or water
- Toxic Chemical Releases = total kilograms of toxic chemical released directly or indirectly into the air, soil, and/or water
- Water Use = total cubic meters of water for production
SATELLITE ACCOUNT DETAILS
There are three tables for each of the eight satellite accounts.
REGION SUMMARY
The Region Summary, shows the detailed Environmental names and tags with their total unit values in the region from all Industries.
- Environment Name = the environmental use or pollutant
- Environment Tag = detailed description or chemical formula
- Environment Unit = all unit values are measures of mass in kilograms (kg) except Land Use unit values are square meters per year (m2*) and Water Use unit values are measured in volume of cubic meters (m3)
- Unit Value = the total amount of units by all Industries for each Environment name & tag within the chosen satellite account
INDUSTRY SUMMARY
The Industry Summary table shows the total unit value for the chosen satellite account, by each of the 546 IMPLAN Industries.
- Industry = all of the U.S. 546 IMPLAN Industry code and descriptions
- Environment Unit = all unit values are measures of mass in kilograms (kg) except Land Use unit values are square meters per year (m2*) and Water Use unit values are measured in volume of cubic meters (m3)
- Unit Value = the total amount of units by Industry for the chosen satellite account
- Output = Total Industry Output in nominal, unadjusted dollars
- Value per $ of Output = Ratio of physical environment unit value per dollar of Output
DETAILS
The Detail table has all the detailed Environment names and tags for each of the 546 IMPLAN Industries.
- Industry = all of the U.S. 546 IMPLAN Industry code and descriptions
- Environment Name = the environmental use or pollutant
- Environment Tag = detailed description or chemical formula
- Environment Unit = all unit values are measures of mass in kilograms (kg) except Land Use unit values are square meters per year (m2*) and Water Use unit values are measured in volume of cubic meters (m3)
- Unit Value = the total amount of units by Industry for each Environment name & tag within the chosen satellite account
- Output = Total Industry Output in nominal, unadjusted dollars
- Value per $ of Output = Ratio of physical environment unit value per dollar of Output
SORTING
The title bar displayed across the top of each Environmental table contains buttons that can change the viewing attributes of the table. Column titles act as sorting buttons. Initially most views are sorted by Industry or Commodity code in ascending value (first row is 1 last row is 546). To change the way all fields in the table are arranged, click on the title of the desired column. All data in the table will be sorted in descending order (highest values listed at the top of the table) relative to the column title. To change how the data is sorted, click on another field. When the view has been sorted by a column other than Industry Code, the selected column title will appear with an arrow to its right indicating that the table has been sorted by this column header.
DOWNLOADING
The download function allows data to be exported as a CSV or PDF by clicking on the Dashboard Actions icon in the upper right corner of the table.
This will prompt a popup. Click download.
