List	Version	Source flow	Name there	Why this flow
EF	3.1	4d9a8790-3ddd-11dd-8e7e-0050c2490048	total organic carbon	The consensus list is built from this one, so this row is the flow itself rather than something matched to it.
bafu	2026-v1	40d22a02-df70-52d6-827d-e1d1554b3c4d	TOC, Total Organic Carbon	This substance answers to the name the row carries; both name the same compartment.
ecoinvent	3.12	8734eb08-50cf-4f5a-8d1a-db76d38efe3c	TOC, Total Organic Carbon	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.11-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere) names this flow.
ecoinvent	3.8	8734eb08-50cf-4f5a-8d1a-db76d38efe3c	TOC, Total Organic Carbon	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.8-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere.json) names this flow.
