2. Member States shall establish a national nitrogen budget to monitor the changes in overall losses of reactive nitrogen from agricultureof anthropogenic origin, including ammonia, nitrous oxide, ammonium, nitrates and nitrites, basedalso in view onf the principles set out in the UNECE Guidance Document on Nitrogen Budgets36. In drawing up the budget, the loads from pressure sources of non-agricultural origin need to be taken into account, in addition to the following elements: (a) the type and extent of activities which might have an impact on the budget, and possible pressure sources; (b) any natural elements and sources of pollution that were pre-existing or are independent of anthropogenic pollution; (c) any cause and effect relationship between the various factors, namely the identification of how much each of the elements (natural or anthropogenic) affects the overall losses of pollutants and, therefore, the type and level of pollution that each pressure source is capable of causing. __________________ 36 Decision 2012/10, ECE/EB.AIR/113/Add.1

In order to regulate these activities, the Member States, taking into account the specific characteristics of the area, shall lay down rules relating to the controlled combustion, on the site of production, of the material in question, divided into small heaps and in limited daily amounts, using processes or methods which do not harm the environment or endanger human health.
