 This data is 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, with one producer as exception who is delivering its data directly to the UBA. After checking this specific data, it is merged with that provided by the IVA. This data is made available basically via a co-operation agreement with the nitric acid producers and the IVA (Industrieverband Agrar).
