Data quality

Every effort has been made to provide consistent data, a significant challenge when collating data from a diverse range of activities across 34 locations.

Based on past experience, the accuracy of the data has a tolerance range of +/- 20% with exception of the VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). These calculations are based on estimations and extrapolations, so the accuracy of the VOC data can deviate substantially.
