AP Acidification potential

Acidification is mainly caused by the interaction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) gases with other components of the air. The uniquely assigned consequences include u.a. the acidification of lakes and waters, which leads to a decimation of fish stocks in numbers and variety.
The acidification potential is expressed in kg-SO₂ equivalents. The characterization factors according to ÖNORM EN 15804, Annex C are used for the calculation. For older LCA data (prior to publication of ÖNORM EN 15804: 2014), the average "European acidification potential" according to CML 2001 v3.9 was used.

Proof: LCA according to "inclusion criteria for product-specific LCA data into the baubook".
