Aquatic Toxicity and Human Toxicity
Aquatic toxicity and human toxicity are impact categories that are best addressed by a tool such as Environmental Risk Assessment, where calculated or measured concentrations in the environment can be compared to a no-effect concentration.
This is a critical step when assessing whether a chemical is safe for living organisms. Because Life Cycle Assessment (LCA
) reports only aggregated emissions across time and space, no environmental concentration can be calculated.
). New methods have recently been published and are under evaluation by our LCA experts.
