*
1
Estimate. In this case, mainly caused by inorganic discharges,
and hence not a very relevant parameter for the Group.
2
Originates mostly from phosphogypsum.
3
All sulphur compounds calculated as SO 2
.
4
Nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide calculated as NO 2
.
5
VOC is a sum of volatile organic compounds.
6
Sum of ammonia, hydrogen chloride and six other simple
inorganic compounds, mostly ammonia in this case.
7
Waste as defined in EU legislation. Reported figures do not include
mining by-products, on-site incineration, waste which is
further processed into products at the sites, or sold as a coproduct
to external recycling. Figures are on wet basis.
8
1,000 tonnes of oil equivalent. Includes fuel as a raw material.
9
Incidents causing an employee absence of at least one day.
* These figures have been changed because of a redefinition.
