Abstract [en]

The ProScale method was developed in an industrial consortium with expertise both from the Life Cycle Assessment and Risk Assessment areas. ProScale is intended as an easy-to-use and widely applicable method that can cover both human and eco-toxicity aspects. Currently available in this report is a module for assessing direct exposure related Human Toxicity Potentials in a life cycle perspective compatible with Life Cycle Assessments including Product Environmental Footprint (PEF).

The ProScale methodology is based on chemical hazard described by substance classification (H-phrases) in the GHS/CLP classification system, occupational exposure limits (OEL) or Derived No Effect Levels (DNEL), and an exposure dose based on ECETOC Tiered Risk Assessment (TRA). ProScale scores are derived separately for inhalative, oral and dermal exposure routes. The document provides scientific background as well as practical guidance to the practitioner to carry out a ProScale assessment.

Abstract [sv]

ProScale utvecklades i ett industriellt samarbetsprojekt med experter inom livscykelanalys och riskbedömningtoxikologi. ProScale är avsett att vara enkel att använda och omfatta bedömning av kemikalierisker för både människa och miljö. Hittills och i denna rapport omfattar metoden direktexponeringsrelaterad riskinformation för användning inom livscykelanalyser såsom i Europeiska Kommissionens metodik för produkters miljöavtryck (PEF).

ProScale-metoden bygger på en kombination av faroklassning enligt det globala harmoniserade systemet (GHS), gränsvärden i arbetsmiljö, och en exponeringsdos baserat på ECETOC TRA (Tiered Risk Assessment). ProScale värden tas fram separat för oral exponering, hudexponering och inandning. Rapporten omfattar en kort bakgrundsbeskrivning och en guide för den som vill arbeta praktiskt med metoden.
