 These data are made available basically via a co-operation agreement with the nitric acid producers and the IVA (Industrieverband Agrar). As the data provided by the producers has to be treated as confidential, it is anonymised by the IVA before submitting it to the UBA. Here, one producer is delivering its data directly to the UBA. After checking these specific data, they are merged with the IVA. These data are made available basically via a co-operation agreement with the nitric acid producers and the IVA (Industrieverband Agrar).
