04Calculation of environmentalperformanceENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEList of the impact categories/3Monini EPD ® , December 2012p. 26Ecotoxicity of freshwatersThis indicator concerns the categoryof impact on fresh water ecosystems,due to the emission of toxic substances intothe air, water and soil.Ecotoxicity potential is calculated accordingto the USES-LCA model, which describesthe destination, the exposure and the effectsof the toxic substances. The time horizon isinfinite.The characterisation factor is expressedas 1.4-dichlorobenzene equivalent/kgof emission. The indicator is applied on aglobal, continental, regional and local scale.Ecotoxicity of sea waterThis indicator concerns the category ofimpact on seawater ecosystems, due to theemission of toxic substances into the air,water and soil.Ecotoxicity potential is calculated accordingto the USES-LCA model, which describes thedestination, the exposure and the effects ofthe toxic substances.The time horizon is infinite.The characterisation factor is expressedas 1.4-dichlorobenzene equivalent/kg Theindicator is applied on a global, continental,regional and local scale.Ecotoxicity of the soilThis indicator concerns the categoryof impact on seawater ecosystems, due tothe emission of toxic substances into the air,water and soil.Ecotoxicity potential is calculated accordingto the USES-LCA model, which describesthe destination, the exposure and the effectsof the toxic substances. The time horizon isinfinite.The characterisation factor is expressedas 1.4-dichlorobenzene equivalent/kgof emission. The indicator is applied on aglobal, continental, regional and local scale.Human toxicityThis category concerns the effects of toxicsubstances on the human environment. Itdoes not include the health risks relatedto exposure at the workplace. Thecharacterisation factors and human toxicitypotential were calculated according to theUSES-LCA model, which describes thedestination, the exposure and the effectsof the toxic substances for an infinite timehorizon. For each toxic substance, thehuman toxicity potential is expressed as1.4-dichlorobenzene equivalent/kgof emission.The geographic scope of this indicatordetermines the destination of a substanceand can vary from a local to global scale.Use of the soil.This category concerns the effects followingthe conversion or occupation of land. Theimpact is expressed in m 2 per year.
