Impacts from chemicals that are applied or formed and emitted during the life cycle of a product or service still constitute a weak point in LCIA. Compared to other impacts covered in LCA, chemical impacts are associated with large uncertainties and omissions both in the inventory analysis and in the modelling of both indoor and outdoor emissions to impacts on human health and ecosystems.
The event will consist in a short course introducing the UNEP-SETAC toxicity model "USEtox". The seminar will be given by experts in the field and is targeted to any stakeholder concerned with or interested in toxicity LCIA, ranging from Ph.D. students to LCA practitioners, decision-makers, method developers, and experts from related fields.
The course gives an introduction to toxicological risk and impact modelling for assessing chemical emissions in LCA and other comparative applications. Underlying assumptions and recommended practices are presented and a hands-on experience with the USEtox model for characterization of toxic impacts is offered.
The USEtox course will be held in connection with the SETAC Europe Annual Meeting on Sunday 23rd of May in Seville, Spain.
The registration to this event is handled by SETAC directly
