USEtox professional training course offered to participants from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) with the following objectives:

1. Enhance the understanding related to human toxicity and ecotoxicity impact characterization of chemical substance emissions and of chemicals used in product applications
2. Increase the understanding of the overall assessment workflow of the USEtox model
3. Equip training participants with fundamentals needed to calculate human toxicity and ecotoxicity characterization factors with USEtox

Topics covered in the training course:

1. Differences in assessing toxicity between risk assessment and LCA
2. Principles of the USEtox model
3. Scope of emission and in-product chemical applications in USEtox, parameterizations of indoor and product settings
4. Calculation of USEtox characterization factors for specific emission and in-product chemical applications
5. Applicability of USEtox to certain substance groups, receptor groups, and exposure settings
