摘要: The purpose of this paper is to provide Characterization Factors (CFs) for the toxicity related impact categories in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs). CFs already available were updated whereas others implemented first time by means USEtox USES-LCA 2.0 methodologies. list PPCPs includes human freshwater ecotoxicity both models terrestrial marine assessed with 2.0. Moreover, all emission compartments considered calculation. resulting subjected a sensitivity analysis results determined that toxicological ecotoxicological effects (ED50 avlogEC50, respectively) as well degradation rate water most sensitive parameters. calculated used environmental assessment Completely Autotrophic Nitrogen removal Over Nitrite (CANON) pilot plant. found have major on ecotoxicity, accounting 81% or 97% total USEtox, respectively. more precise determination was obtained after updating values contributions up 50% impact. Therefore, provision new allows accurate processes where are present.
