About this Project

The IMPACT 2002 model provides close to 1000 characterization factors for the midpoint categories human toxicity, aquatic ecotoxicity and terrestrial ecotoxicity for the LCIA methodology IMPACT 2002+. The model is parameterised in a non-spatial and a spatial European model nested in a non-spatial world model, as well as a complete world model.
