USEtox—the UNEP-SETAC toxicity model: recommended characterisation factors for human toxicity and freshwater ecotoxicity in life cycle impact assessment
Ralph K. Rosenbaum,Till M. Bachmann,Lois Swirsky Gold,Mark A. J. Huijbregts,Olivier Jolliet,Ronnie Juraske,Ronnie Juraske,Annette Koehler,Henrik Fred Larsen,Matthew MacLeod,Manuele Margni,Thomas E. McKone,Jérôme Payet,Marta Schuhmacher,Dik van de Meent,Michael Zwicky Hauschild +15 more
TL;DR: Usetox as discussed by the authors is a scientific consensus model that contains only the most influential model elements and is used to calculate CFs for several thousand substances and forms the basis of the recommendations from UNEP-SETAC Life Cycle Initiative regarding characterisation of toxic impacts in life cycle assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate and effects of CeO2 nanoparticles in aquatic ecotoxicity tests.
Karen Van Hoecke,Joris T.K. Quik,Joanna Mankiewicz-Boczek,Joanna Mankiewicz-Boczek,Karel A.C. De Schamphelaere,Andreas Elsaesser,Paul Van der Meeren,Clifford Barnes,George McKerr,C. Vyvyan Howard,Dik van de Meent,K. Rydzynski,Kenneth A. Dawson,Anna Salvati,Anna Lesniak,Iseult Lynch,Geert Silversmit,Bjoern De Samber,Laszlo Vincze,Colin R. Janssen +19 more
TL;DR: Toxicity could not be related to a direct effect of dissolved Ce or CeO2 NP uptake or adsorption, nor to an indirect effect of nutrient depletion (by sorption to NPs) or physical light restriction (through shading by the NPs), but observed clustering of NPs around algal cells may locally cause a direct or indirect effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is cumulative fossil energy demand a useful indicator for the environmental performance of products
Mark A. J. Huijbregts,Linda J.A. Rombouts,Stefanie Hellweg,Rolf Frischknecht,A. Jan Hendriks,Dik van de Meent,Ad M.J. Ragas,Lucas Reijnders,Jaap Struijs +8 more
TL;DR: The use of fossil fuels is an important driver of several environmental impacts and thereby indicative for many environmental problems, and the usefulness of fossil CED as a stand-alone indicator for environmental impact is limited by the large uncertainty in the product-specific fossil C ED-based impact scores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular uptake of nanoparticles as determined by particle properties, experimental conditions, and cell type
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that uptake into nonphagocytic cells depends strongly on NP size, with an uptake optimum at an NP diameter of approximately 50 nm, and increasing surface charges, either positive or negative, have been shown to increase particle uptake in comparison with uncharged NPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building a model based on scientific consensus for Life Cycle Impact Assessment of chemicals: the search for harmony and parsimony.
Michael Zwicky Hauschild,Mark A. J. Huijbregts,Olivier Jolliet,Matthew MacLeod,Manuele Margni,Dik van de Meent,Ralph K. Rosenbaum,Thomas E. McKone +7 more
TL;DR: A recent scientific consensus-building process for Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) models applied to chemical emissions is described, including the strategy, execution, and results of a process that used model comparison to achieve parsimony.
