List	Version	Source flow	Name there	Why this flow
EF	3.1	fe0acd60-3ddc-11dd-aadb-0050c2490048	non-methane volatile organic compounds	The consensus list is built from this one, so this row is the flow itself rather than something matched to it.
bafu	2026-v1	202dbb64-d68a-5bf4-8693-5ed06a43875c	NMVOC, Non-methane Volatile Organic Compounds, Unspecified Origin	This substance answers to the name the row carries; both name the same compartment.
ecoinvent	3.12	36c96aed-9335-4564-8cdd-46f01a13700c	NMVOC, Non-methane Volatile Organic Compounds	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.11-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere) names this flow.
ecoinvent	3.8	36c96aed-9335-4564-8cdd-46f01a13700c	NMVOC, Non-methane Volatile Organic Compounds, Unspecified Origin	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.8-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere.json) names this flow.
