Impact Assessment
Impact assessment results are listed in Table 7. Acidification potential (AP), photochemical ozone creation potential
(POCP), eutrophication potential (EP), and ozone depletion potential (POCP) results were calculated using the TRACI
2.1 methodology. Global warming potential (GWP) results were calculated based on the 5
th
assessment report of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and abiotic depletion potential (ADP) results are based on CML
2001 (v4.7, January 2016).
