The paper aimed to present the main methodologies for estimating atmospheric emissions, with an example for a construction materials factory. It is based on the statistical data provided by a pre-dosed dry mortar factory, for which both the emissions specific to the limestone quarry where the raw material comes from, as well as the emissions from the manufacturing process, were analysed. The presented method, used for the elaboration of the emission inventory and not only, requires the use of specific emission factors for each emission-generating activity in an area or in a company. The method can be used for other purposes as well, including for calculating taxes to the Environmental Fund. Sometimes, due to legislative oversights or the impossibility of including a source in the existing list, it is up to the evaluator to choose the most correct approach.
