Also for consideration - An agreed value for global warming potential of the anaesthetic gasses, with references. Currently there are a variety used for calculation (ranging from approx. 310-349 for Nox, for example) a good concise project is to aggregate these and provide either a preferred source (IPCC?) or present an average figure.
