Less than 500 metric tons of nitrous oxide. P = preliminary data. Notes: Data in this table are revised from the data contained in the previous EIA report, Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 1997, DOE/EIA-0573(97) (Washington, DC, October 1998). Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
