General comment | USEtox consensus multimedia model. It spans two spatial scales: continental scale consisting of six compartment (urban air, rural air, agricultural soil natural soil, freshwater, costal marine water), and the global scale with the same structure but without the urban air. Specific groups of chemicals requires further work |

LCIA characterisation model(s) name(s) | USEtox™ |
LCIA characterisation model description and included sub-models | USEtox is the UNEP/SETAC scientific consensus model for characterizing human toxicological and ecotoxicological impacts of chemical emissions in life cycle assessment. It is based on existing LCIA toxicity characterization models. It includes all vital model elements of toxicological effects assessment. |
Considered environmental or other mechanisms along the impact chain | The USEtox model is built upon a multimedia model, integrating the entire cause-effect chain. It includes separate model components for calculating fate factors (FF), exposure factors (XF), and effect factors (EF). These components operate independently but their outputs are merged together to provide the characterization factors, CF, for human toxicity and freshwater ecotoxicity impacts, respectively. |

Project | LCIA method original development via a project under the UNEP-SETAC Life Cycle Initiative . Documentation as ILCD formatted data set, mapping to the ILCD elementary flows (flowlist expanded to cover additional substances in 2018), and additional quality checks by the EC’s JRC-IES and with contractual support projects, partly financed under several Administrative Arrangements on the European Platform on LCA - EPLCA' between JRC and DG ENV |
Intended applications | Provide applicable recommended factors for about 1400 chemicals |
