metrics:sox-emissions Total mass of sulphur oxides released to air from stationary and mobile sources, in tonnes.

metrics:voc-emissions Total mass of volatile organic compounds released to air from solvents, coatings, and industrial processes, in tonnes.
metrics:particulate-matter-emissions Total mass of fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) released to air from operations, in tonnes.
metrics:substances-of-concern Total mass of substances of concern or substances of very high concern (SVHC) present in products or released during production, in kilograms.
metrics:ozone-depleting-emissions Total mass of ozone-depleting substances released, measured in kg CFC-11 equivalent.
