Project description
Background & project objective
Main goal of the proposed project is to develop characterisation factors for chemicals emitted from hull coatings, including biocides and silicone oils.
Focus beyond the development of marine ecotoxicity characterization factors for selected chemicals found in marine coating products includes a sensitivity analyses and requirements to guarantee the scientific robustness of the proposed factors.
Project output
Main project output focuses on the three main aspects that are listed in below table.
| Aspect | Output description |
|---|---|
| Data collection | Review of collected toxicity model input data, incl. feedback for collected data and data-gap filling; Input data consistency check |
| Data correlation & gap filling | Input for data gap filling (extrapolation, QSAR, read across, etc.); Review of final toxicity model input dataset |
| USEtox modelling & testing | Support for toxicity model setup for data and scenario integration, and model runs, incl. scenario adaptation (e.g. speciation, marine ecotoxicity matrix system and effect data, etc.); Input for model results interpretation (intermediate and final characterization results), including correct coupling with inventory results; Results visualization support and input for conference contribution |
| LCA integration & interpretation | Support for correct integration of toxicity model results into broader LCA study (metal molar weight correction, unit conversion for ecotoxicity, etc.) |
