We report ozone depletion potential in CFC-11 equivalents as defined by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Ozone Secretariat (www.ghgprotocol.org and www.ipcc.ch)
The data only include EU and US.
VOCs react with nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight, creating ozone in the lower atmosphere. This results in smog, which is a factor in human respiratory illness. We report photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP) in ethylene equivalents. Conversion to ethylene equivalents is based on the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) "Responsible Care HSE Reporting Guidelines" for VOCs (1998).
