ATMOSPHERE
Global Warming Potential refers to long-term changes in global weather patterns – including temperature and precipitation – that are caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Ozone Depletion Potential is the destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer, which shields the earth from ultraviolet radiation that’s harmful to life, caused by human-made air pollution.

Acidification Potential is the result of humanmade emissions and refers to the decrease in pH and increase in acidity of oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams – a phenomenon that pollutes groundwater and harms aquatic life.
Eutrophication Potential occurs when excessive nutrients cause increased algae growth in lakes, blocking the underwater penetration of sunlight needed to produce oxygen and resulting in the loss of aquatic life.

Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential happens when sunlight reacts with hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds, to produce a type of air pollution known as smog.
Depletion of Abiotic Resources (Elements) refers to the reduction of available nonrenewable resources, such as metals and gases, that are found on the periodic table of elements, due to human activity.
The functional unit is 1 square metre of installed floor covering. Life cycle impact results are expressed for 1 year of use.
Depletion of Abiotic Resources (Fossil Fuels) refers to the decreasing availability of nonrenewable carbonbased compounds, such as oil and coal, due to human activity.
