Unit: kg N equivalents
Description:
European validity. Averaged characterization factors from country dependent characterization factors. 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 marine systems are considered in this model. Inclusion of important removal mechanisms for N (limiting nutrient).Normalization factor: 19.5451815519191 kg N equivalents
Emission factors: 307 exchanges considered
