European validity. Averaged characterization factors from country dependent characterization factors. Struijs et al. (2008) Mass P-equivalents time independent indefinite RER RER Valid for Europe (averaged factors based on country-dependent assessments). CARMEN model for waterborne emissions and EUTREND for airborne emissions. The exposure factors for water-borne emissions are calculated using the CARMEN model. For air-borne emissions, the exposure factors are calculated with EUTREND. Only impacts on freshwater systems are considered in this model. Struijs et al. (2008) Inclusion of important removal mechanisms for P (limiting nutrient). Eutrophication_figure Representative for Europe. Averaged characterization factor data set (from country-dependent assessments). Mid-point indicator Effective volumes None false false Struijs et al. (2008) 3 Methods and characterization factors are well documented and accessible for use. Models and input data not easily accessible. High environmental relevance with consideration of removal processes. Overall, the models for European conditions address all aspects of aquatic eutrophication for different emission sources. Moderate stakeholder acceptance. Overall good quality and good applicability of the factors (based on country-dependent assessment) at the European scale. Models potentially adaptable to generate characteriation factors for other continents if complemented by appropriate fate models.
