Inter-Individual Variability and Non-linear Dose-Response Relationship in Assessing Human Health Impact From Chemicals in LCA: Addressing Uncertainties in Exposure and Toxicological Susceptibility

Inter-Individual Variability and Non-linear Dose-Response Relationship in Assessing Human Health Impact From Chemicals in LCA: Addressing Uncertainties in Exposure and Toxicological Susceptibility

Current life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) practices use a characterization factor to linearly scale chemical emission to human health impact assuming a homogeneous exposure and toxicological susceptibility for the entire population. However, both exposure and toxicological susceptibility may vary...
