摘要

Recent research efforts have developed several easy-to-use methods to estimate the risk potential of emitted chemicals using simplified transport and exposure assessment scenarios. However, a question remains: “which level of complexity is required for reliable risk assessment?” To answer this question, a thorough comparative study was conducted and several existing methods were critically evaluated for situations in which individuals make environmentally conscious manufacturing decisions, interpret toxic release inventory (TRI) and rank chemicals. It was concluded that ignoring or simplifying exposure calculations is not appropriate, except in cases where the toxicity differences were very great or when comparing chemicals with similar fate. It was found from a sensitivity study that assigning the appropriate adjustment factor for chemical properties involved in the simplified methods would greatly improve the reliability of the methods. However, a detailed chemical fate and toxicity method is required for chemicals with quite different properties because the fate of chemicals in the environment is assessed with consideration of more realistic attenuation mechanisms than the other methods.; To implement the detailed chemical fate and toxicity method, a multimedia compartmental model CHEMGL was developed for predicting the fate and transport of chemicals in the Great Lakes region. CHEMGL includes more compartments and considers the all important attenuation mechanisms compared with other existing environmental multimedia fate models. It was concluded that CHEMGL is appropriate for the screening level of the fate and exposure estimation to provide environmental indices in the initial and detailed design phase.; Finally, CHEMGL was applied with the Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment (EIO-LCA) model to conduct a risk-based life cycle assessment case study for the industrial sector for production of motor vehicles and passenger car bodies. The results show that the contribution to global scale impact (global warming and ozone depletion), human health impact, and aquatic organisms impact are much higher for sectors associated with car manufacturing than “the Motor Vehicles and Passenger Car Bodies” sector itself. The study also demonstrates the importance of chemical fate and transport analysis because the impact assessment changes with the incorporation of the toxicity and chemical fate and exposure.
