Global warming potential of a gas refers to total contribution of global warming resulting from the emission of one unit of this gas compared to one unit of reference gas, carbon dioxide, whose GWP is standardized to 1.

Acidification of soil and water, AP

(kg SO2equiv/UD)

Eutrophication EP (kg (PO4)3equiv/UF)

Photochemical ozone creation (Kg Ethene equiv/UF) Destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer which protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. The destruction of the ozone layer is caused by the breakage of specific chlorine and/or compounds containing bromine which break when they reach the stratosphere and destroy ozone molecules by catalytic reactions. 7,83E-07 5,20E-17 3,93E-08 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1,90E-18 4,86E-09 5,99E-17 MNA

Acid pollutants have negative impacts on natural ecosystems and human environment including buildings. Main sources of acidifying substances emission are agriculture and fuel combustion used to electricity production, heating and transportation. 3,16E-02 1,03E-03 1,59E-03 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3,78E-05 1,48E-04 8,29E-05 MNA
