Flow list and test results

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:41 AM | Dataset Last Updated: November 22, 2016
These data accompany the manuscript 'Critical Review of Elementary Flows in LCA Data'. Each file presents a subgroup of the elementary flows (data used for analysis) and all the analysis results. Files are separated by flow types. The 'Element or Compound' types contained over 115,000 flows and was broken into three files (a, b,and c). A guide to the file contents and explanation of flow types are provided in the 'CriticalReviewofElementaryFlows_Data_Guide' file. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Edelen, A., W. Ingwersen, C. Rodriguez, R. Alvarenga, A.R. de Almeida, and G. Wernet. Critical Review of Elementary Flows in LCA data. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT. Ecomed Verlagsgesellschaft AG, Landsberg, GERMANY, 01-13, (2017).
