Currently, the ReCiPe methodology for life cycle impact assessment includes fate factors for a number of countries, or groups of countries worldwide, distinguishing primary and secondary PM2.5 (fine particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 μm) emissions (Huijbregts et al. 2017; Van Zelm et al. 2016). However, differences in low and high stack emissions, rural and urban emissions, as well as larger particles are not included. Therefore, this research focusses on the application of a smaller resolution model to obtain fate factors that better capture spatial global variability. This research will help transition to a more healthy and sustainable society.
