1) Sealants, adhesives, paints, lacquers, printing inks, ceramics
2) Paper recycling, car shredding, waste incineration
3) PEC in food is based on the assumption that 50% of prey is sourced from the local environment and 50% from the regional environment according to TGD. Predator fish are assumed to be stationary and consume all prey locally. Thus, PECoral invertebrates is calculated based only on PEClocal surface water. |
