⏵ Eutrophication, freshwater

Unit: kg P 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 freshwater systems are considered in this model. Inclusion of important removal mechanisms for P (limiting nutrient).

Normalization factor: 1.60685212828813 kg P equivalents
