- Definition method assessing freshwater ecotoxicity, i.e. impacts of chemicals on freshwater aquatic ecosystems Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on:- Van Hoof, G., Schowanek, D., Franceschini, H. et al. 'Ecotoxicity impact assessment of laundry products: a comparison of USEtox and critical dilution volume approaches' (5.5.2021). Int J Life Cycle Assess 16, 803 (2011). - ECETOC. 'Technical report 127 USEtox and the Critical Dilution Volume method' (5.5.2021)"
- Comment USEtox and CDV were developed to provide tools in different contexts. That is why their operation and use differ. However, both are Midpoints indicators and can help assessing impacts of chemicals on freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Both are also limited by data availability and quality especially when considering the whole life cycle of a product.
