List	Version	Source flow	Name there	Why this flow
bafu	2026-v1	45ee12e6-3735-5589-a9e2-e8dd3000a300	BOD5, Biological Oxygen Demand	This substance answers to the name the row carries; both name the same compartment.
ecoinvent	3.12	57c27ba7-a61a-4932-8cd5-095c88ff0245	BOD5, Biological Oxygen Demand	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.11-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere) names this substance, which had no flow in this compartment, so this flow was created for the row.
ecoinvent	3.8	57c27ba7-a61a-4932-8cd5-095c88ff0245	BOD5, Biological Oxygen Demand	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.8-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere.json) names this flow.
