Characterisation Method Information

Characterisation Method Name:

Other VOC impact on severe morbidity

Version:

1999

Date Completed:

1999

Principal Method Name:

EPS: global warming and oxidant pathways

Method Description:

The characterisation factor is determined by an equivalency method using CO2 as a
reference for global warming effects and ethylene as a reference for oxidant effects.

Literature Reference:

Steen B (1999b): A systematic approach to environmental priority strategies in product development (EPS). Version 2000 – Models and data of the default method CPM report Chalmers University of Technology Sweden

Methodological Range:

Including emissions from anywhere at the globe 1990 and considering a residence time of several days for VOC and its reaction products, the environmental system will also be global. For the global warming pathways, the same system borders as for CO2 is relevant, i.e. 100 years.
