Notes:

*1 Double counting of the consumption with preparations manufactured in Denmark is eliminated in the totals (cleaning agents). Products for which the country of manufacturing is unknown are considered imported (deemed most likely).

*2 An additional 40-70 tons/year are used for Danish manufacturing of products for export (varnish and paint products).

*3 lndirect exposure via evaporation to air and subsequent rainfalls are not included.

*4 Totals are rounded up.

*5 Recycling numbers does not include internal recycling integrated in manufacturing processes.

*6 The presented figures are rough estimates based on general knowledge on chemical characteristics and standard routines of use and disposal in the application fields in question.
