Geographical representativeness | |
Intervention location | RER |
Impact location | RER |
Geographical representativeness description | Valid for Europe (averaged factors based on country-dependent assessments). |
Impact model | |
LCIA characterisation model(s) name(s) | CARMEN model for waterborne emissions and EUTREND for airborne emissions. |
LCIA characterisation model description and included sub-models | 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. |
LCIA characterisation model source | |
Considered environmental or other mechanisms along the impact chain | Inclusion of important removal mechanisms for P (limiting nutrient). |

Project | LCIA method original development within the ReCiPe project (see www.lcia-recipe.net/) based on EUTREND model (Struijs et al 2009) . Documentation as ILCD formatted data set, mapping to the ILCD elementary flows, and additional quality checks by the EC JRC and with contractual support projects, partly financed under several Administrative Arrangements on the European Platform on LCA - EPLCA' between JRC and DG ENV, (070402/2006/443456/G4, 070307/2007/474521/G4, 070307/2008/513489/G4). |
Intended applications | Provide applicable midpoint characterization factors for freshwater eutrophication in Europe. |
