CITEPA Centre Interprofessionnel Technique d'Etudes de la Pollution Atmosphérique

The Interprofessional Technical Centre for Studies on Air Pollution (CITEPA) is a not-for-profit organisation (1901 French Charities Act). It identifies, analyses and distributes data and methods on atmospheric pollution – especially air emissions – and climate change. To carry out its mission for the French Environment Ministry, CITEPA produces national inventories of atmospheric pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions to meet France\'s international commitments, in particular to the EU and the United Nations (UNECE). It also conducts techno-economic and forward studies and offers training courses, expert and advisory services and conducts GHG and other audits for businesses and local government authorities. CITEPA also acts in an expert capacity for the EU and other international institutions, particularly the United Nations (UN). CITEPA has about 75 members (industry, professional federations and unions, energy utilities, automobile manufacturers, eco-industries, consultancies and measuring laboratories). CITEPA has received ISO 9001 certification for its inventories and studies.
