This paper aims to develop continental characterization factors for the human toxicity impacts of emissions released to air in different continents and to analyze under which conditions this spatial distinction makes a significant difference compared to generic characterization factors.continent-specific variationhuman toxicityintake fractionlife cycle assessment (LCA)toxic emissionsCycle Impact AssessmentHuman Health ResponseMultimedia FateModelEuropePollutantsPotentialsExposureExplicitEd(10)SContinent-specific intake fractions and characterization factors for toxic emissions: Does it make a difference?text::journal::journal article::research article
