Abstract

In the preceding chapter we assumed that the data necessary for the establishment of a material balance are correct except for measurement errors—in other words that these data are not falsified intentionally. There are cases where there is no reason to take into account the possibility of falsification, e.g., all cases of balances of mass flows existing in nature. However, there are also cases where such a data falsification cannot be excluded; these are all cases where the material balance principle is used as a control or safeguards tool.
