  • Acidification potential (AP)
  • Eutrophication potential (EP)
  • Air toxicity (AT)
  • Water toxicity (WT)
  • Hazardous waste production (HWP)
  • Particulate emissions
  • SO2 emissions
  • NOx emissions
  • Methane emissions
  • N2O emissions
  • Non-methane hydrocarbon emissions
  • CO emissions
  • Creation of high-level radioactive waste (HLW)
