This dataset represents the activity of waste disposal of waste polyurethane in uncontrolled, open burning. Recommended use of this dataset: For PU, which goes to disposal as part of unmanaged communal waste mixture.Waste composition (wet, in ppm): upper heating value 30.9 MJ/kg; lower heating value 30.67 MJ/kg; H2O 2000; O 178700; H 84276; C 640700; S 203.07; N 60922; P n.a.; B n.a.; Cl 24369; Br 70.934; F 14.896; I n.a.; Ag n.a.; As 1.9253; Ba 188.99; Cd 82.301; Co 32.011; Cr 41.41; Cu 321.89; Hg 0.86045; Mn 80.984; Mo n.a.; Ni 20.874; Pb 473.27; Sb 43.54; Se 2.128; Sn 26.555; V 291.99; Zn 566.54; Be 0.50667; Sc n.a.; Sr 89.68; Ti 1013.3; Tl 0.40534; W n.a.; Si n.a.; Fe 3775.4; Ca n.a.; Al 202.67; K n.a.; Mg n.a.; Na 1485; . Share of carbon in waste that is biogenic 0%. // Recycling rates for metallic iron = 0% for metallic aluminium = 0% for metallic copper = 0% . A mass of 0.0368kg residues are left on ground.
Undefined unit processes (UPRs) are the unlinked, multi-product activity datasets that form the basis for all of the system models available in the ecoinvent database. This is the way the datasets are obtained and entered into the database by the data providers. These activity datasets are useful for investigating the environmental impacts of a specific activity (gate-to-gate), without regard to its upstream or downstream impacts.
