BAFU 2026 v1, Ecotoxicity freshwater (organics)

A comparison of published impact results with VoLCA calculations from the same source data and the publisher’s impact factors. Points on the diagonal agree.

BAFU 2026 v1, Ecotoxicity freshwater (organics)
Each point is one activity: what BAFU 2026 v1 published for Ecotoxicity freshwater (organics) (CTUe), against what VoLCA computes from the same EcoSpold 1 source under the publisher's own EF 3.1 adapted 1.05 factors. The black line is equality and the grey band is 1%. 11,654 activities were compared; 11,651 fall outside the band, more than a picture can hold, so 1,943 of the 11,654 are drawn, evenly spaced over the published value whichever side of the band they fall, and the 168 of the 200 farthest from equality that this walk missed are added. Where several fall on one spot, at most three markers are drawn there, since a fourth would not darken it. Median ratio 0.0300, 99.97% outside the band. This misses the agreement a release is held to (at most 5% of activities outside the band and a median ratio inside it), for a known reason: The same swap seen from the other side: held against the inorganics column the median ratio is 0.9293 instead of 0.0361.
