Flowable
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-011317
1. Pesticide and other formulations in which the active ingredients are finely ground insoluble solids suspended in a liquid. They are mixed with water for application.
2. The name of the material, energy, or space (e.g., “Carbon dioxide” or “freshwater”) that will enter or leave the technosphere. This is commonly called “substance” or "flow name" but this term is too limited and the term flowable from the ECO LCA ontology (McBride and Norris 2010) is preferred [Original source: McBride B, Norris G (2010) Earthster Core Ontology: Description and Rationale. Version 0.1-SNAPSHOT. New Earth, Boston, MA].
3. Name of the material, energy, or space (e.g., “Carbon dioxide” or “freshwater”) that will enter or leave the technosphere. This is commonly called “substance” or "flow name" but this term is too limited and the term flowable from the ECO LCA ontology (McBride and Norris 2010) is preferred [FEDEFL].
