The WITCH model represents the black carbon (BC), carbon monoxide (CO), ammoniac (NH3), nitrogen oxides (NOx), organic carbon (OC), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The energy-related emissions are computed from the sectoral activities with the appropriate coefficients. The others emissions are exogenous and are issued from the RCP emissions profiles.
