06.01SOx EmissionsTotal mass of sulphur oxides released to air from stationary and mobile sources, in tonnes.tSumLower

06.06Ozone-Depleting Substance EmissionsTotal mass of ozone-depleting substances released, measured in kg CFC-11 equivalent.kgSumLower
06.07Nitrogen Discharged to WaterTotal mass of nitrogen discharged to water over the reporting period, in tonnes. Reported as a load rather than a concentration, because a load aggregates across sites and is what drives downstream eutrophication.tSumLower
06.08Phosphorus Discharged to WaterTotal mass of phosphorus discharged to water over the reporting period, in tonnes. Reported as a load rather than a concentration, because a load aggregates across sites and is what drives downstream eutrophication.tSumLower
