Description

The data set refers to the production of 1 ton of glyphosate using the Glycine Method, which involves the synthesis of Dimethyl Phosphite followed by Glyphosate Synthesis. This data set is suitable for professionals analyzing the environmental impact of the pesticide manufacture process, specifically for producing glyphosate. Glyphosate is a commonly used herbicide in agriculture for weed control. When utilizing this data set, users should be aware that it only contains information on pollutant emissions for the production of 1 ton of glyphosate. It lacks data on raw material inputs, energy consumption, water usage, and transportation, which are essential elements for a complete life cycle assessment. Users need to supplement this data from other sources to perform a comprehensive environmental impact analysis. This data set should be used with caution for drawing conclusions about the overall sustainability of the glyphosate production process.
