### In 2011 the ratio ofproducts changed such that those products containing lower concentrations ofPrecursors were produced at a proportionately lower rate. This caused the overall % 

### ofprecursors in product content to actually increase, even though production ofall products in total continued to decrease.Accomplishments Table: BASF- 2011 Please enter a % number for each of the fields in the table below. When necessary, please combine PFOA, precursors, and higher homologues into one PFOA-equivalent number. In addition, please combine U.S. and non-U.S. reductions into a global reduction, if possible.

a Product content is calculated based on the average concentration of all reported fluorochemistry substances. b Data on 2002 baseline values was reported as combined emissions and product content; The full baseline report is not available to BASF, therefore with only partial information it's not possible to calculate exact %s for the global values, but given 100% reduction in the U.S., values are higher than the Non-U.S. alone .
