Prints the indicator names the `eiod_*` functions accept, with their labels and the units your impact values must be in.

Usage

eiod_list_indicators(quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

quiet

If `TRUE`, return the table without printing it.

Value

A data frame of indicator, label and unit, invisibly when printing.

If your data comes from the EIOF database

**Supply it as it comes - nothing needs converting.** The units in this table are the EIOF database's own: `Land (m2/kg)`, `GHG (kg CO2e/kg)`, `Eutr. (g PO43-e/kg)`, `Water Use (L/kg)`. Multiply by kilograms of food consumed, sum to the respondent-day, and pass the result straight in.

“` kg food consumed x EIOF intensity per kg = the value this package wants “`

**This changed in October 2026.** Eutrophication used to be the exception: the methods paper printed its Table 3 threshold in kilograms while the database reported grams, so a conversion was needed and this package applied one. Intake has since confirmed that both cut-off tables are in grams and supplied corrected Table 3 values. Every indicator is now on a single unit and no conversion happens anywhere.

If you are revisiting a script written before that change and it divides eutrophication by 1000, **remove the division** - the package no longer expects it. `?eiod_cutoffs` has the detail.

Examples

eiod_list_indicators()
#> Seven environmental impact indicators, per capita per day:
#> 
#>   landtotal    Total land use             m2*year
#>   landarable   Arable land use            m2*year
#>   landpasture  Pasture land use           m2*year
#>   ghg          Greenhouse gas emissions   kg CO2eq
#>   eutroph      Eutrophication potential   g PO4(3-)eq
#>   water        Water use                  litres
#>   biodiv       Biodiversity loss          PDF*year
#> 
#> Values must already be summed across everything the respondent
#> consumed that day. reiod does not compute impacts from food items.
#> 
#> These are the EIOF database's own units. Supply your totals as they
#> come - no indicator needs converting.
#>   Changed Oct 2026: eutrophication used to need a /1000 step, because
#>   the paper printed its Table 3 threshold in kg. Intake has corrected
#>   that row to grams. Remove the division from older scripts.
