Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product salt is a chemical compound that contains a considerable amount of sodium chloride (CAS No: 7647-14-5). Salt is present in seawater in a concentration of circa 35 kg per m3 of seawater. Salt is produced through evaporation of seawater but is also present in nature in mineral form where it can be mechanically extracted/mined. Salt finds numerous and various application in many sectors such as industrial chemical food agriculture and others. It can be also used to further produce table salt and other products. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
