The activity generating the emissions is 2,4-dinitrotoluene production. The reference product is 2,4-dinitrotoluene. 2,4-dinitrotoluene is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000121-14-2. It is called 1-methyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C7H6N2O4. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure, is yellow and has a crystalline form. It is modelled as a pure substance. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on a consumer level. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: chemicals (as an intermediate). The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/26234/documentation.

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. 2,4-Dinitrotoluene (DNT) appears as a yellow crystalline solid which is insoluble in water, with a density higher than that of water. It is mainly used as an intermediate product in the production of plyurethanes. Other than that it is used as gelatinizing and waterproofing agent in the manufacture of explosives, and as intermediate in dye processes or smokeless gunpowders (EPA, 2000).

Retreived online from https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-09/documents/2-4-dinitrotoluene.pdf, last accessed 28/06/2017 The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: basic organic chemicals. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is included meaning the emission factor also accounts for capital goods.
