“…Potential chemical risk and potential environmental impact are determined as described in Vincent et al, 26 considering information about the composition of the process streams or the chemicals entering and leaving the system under study. The calculation method ( Figure 4) comprises three elements: (i) inventory analysis; (ii) potential chemical risk and potential environmental impact assessment; and (iii) prioritizing and decision making.…”

“…For the "frequency class", five levels are defined, in terms of the duration of use of each chemical (see Table 1, reproduced from Vincent et al 26 ): level 0, when the use of the chemical compound has been interrupted for more than a year; level 1, for occasional use; level 2, for intermittent use; level 3, for frequent use; and level 4, for permanent use. 26 Although many chemical processes are operated in continuous mode (corresponding to level 4 of frequency class), the growing importance of the batch processes requires consideration of the remaining levels of frequency class.…”

“…For example, from Table 3, considering a chemical compound with a quantity class of 4 (first column) and a frequency class of 2 (first row), one obtains a potential exposure class of 4 (the value where the column and row intersect). Now, the potential chemical risk of each chemical compound is determined combining the potential exposure class with the hazard class previously determined, using Table 4, which has been adapted from Vincent et al 26 For example, from Table 4, considering a chemical compound with a hazard class of 4 (first column) and potential exposure class of 4 (first row), one obtains a potential chemical risk of 30 000. The determination of the potential chemical risk to human health allows for prioritization and measures to minimize it.…”

This work presents the application of a new framework for sustainability metrics to industrial processes, in particular, to chemical processes. The sustainability of an industrial process can be evaluated using a set of three-dimensional (3D) indicators that represent all three dimensions of sustainability: economic, environmental, and societal. The four 3D metrics proposed in this worksnamely, material intensity, energy intensity, potential chemical risk, and potential environmental impactsare applicable to a wide range of process systems. The first two metrics are associated with the process operation. The remaining two metrics, potential chemical risk and potential environmental impact, respectively represent chemical risk to human health in the process environment, and the potential environmental impact of the process on the surrounding environment. To illustrate this framework and the applicability of the proposed set of 3D metrics, two case studies are presented: chlorine production process using three different alternatives (membrane, diaphragm, and mercury cells), and the separation of an acetone/chloroform mixture by two different solvents (benzene and methyln-pentyl-ether). Results of this study show that this framework can be effective in selecting the more-sustainable process by comparing process alternatives.

Objective Considering household disinfectants and cleaning products (HDCP) as mixture of ingredients, rather than each ingredient individually, might help in characterizing their role in asthma. We investigated the association between HDCP and asthma, using the recently developed Ménag'Score®, a health risk assessment score based on exhaustive ingredient lists of HDCP. MethodsThe study is based on 103 female volunteers of the SEPAGES cohort (2014-2019), with repeated data (up to 3 collection times, 200 observations). HDCP use was assessed from a barcode-based smartphone application linked with an ingredient database. The Ménag'score® risks for health and environment were computed for each weekly used HDCP from their exhaustive ingredient data (from A: no known risk to E: highest risk). The association between the use of HDCP with a poor Ménag'score® (D or E; overall, health, environment scores) and asthma symptoms, was estimated by generalized estimating equations models adjusted for age, BMI and smoking status. ResultsParticipants were on average 33 years old, 11% smoked and 20% had at least one asthma symptom. The Ménag'score® was computed for 540 HDCP scanned by participants. Weekly use of HDCP with a poor Ménag'score®-health (around 60% of the participants) was associated with a higher risk of asthma symptoms (OR=3.13,). No association was observed for the Ménag'score®-environment. ConclusionThe use of HDCP with a poor Ménag'score®-health was associated with asthma symptoms. The results support the use of the Ménag'score®-health to further evaluate the health risks of HDCP in observational studies and as a potential public health tool.
