Pressure: the natural or human pressures that influence the state of the environment. Pressures explain why the domains are in the condition they are in. State: the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of each aspect of the environment, and how these aspects are changing over time. Impact: the ecological, economic, social, and cultural consequences of changes in the of the environment. Environmental impacts that have particular significance for Māori are covered under te ao Māori (Māori world view). Emissions to air are an indicator of pressure on air quality. A national home heating emission inventory and other sources evaluation was prepared for 2013 (Wilton 2015) (referred hereafter as the This 2015 inventory builds on et al., 2013 national inventory). the results of the 2013 national inventory to provide an estimate of emissions from all significant anthropogenic sources of particulate, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide. This national estimate of emissions provides an indicator of pressures on air quality and will provide a benchmark to enable future tracking of trends. However, it is important to note that the relative contribution of sources to emissions at a national level does not necessarily reflect the relative contribution of sources to air pollution effects at the local level. For example, industrial emissions can be discharged through high stacks, which improve dispersion and can reduce the effect of the emission at ground level.
