General comment on data set	1 m3 concrete Unical feeds the EPD process annually with primary data related to the manufacture of each product; any primary data of external origin are instead subject to validation by the Ecology Environment and Safety Service Buzzi Unicem S.r.l. Finally, third-party verification certifies the overall reliability of the EPD process. In cases where allocation cannot be avoided, the phenomenon is handled in accordance with the relevant ISO standards (14040, 14044); in such cases, bulk allocation is adopted. < 1% mass and energy

¹This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
²The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
