6.3 Application of the Pathway Approach

The process of assessing emission changes with the impact pathway approach obviously is quite complex and laborious. To facilitate the practical use of the method, the methodology has been used to generate ‘unit values’, i.e. unit impacts or risks per kg of pollutant emitted. These unit values are provided with a software tool named ECOSENSE (available at www.​externe.​info). As input emissions of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2 and NH3 have to provided, distinguishing between release in the different European countries, emission from high stacks, low stacks or in a street canyon, release in rural areas, cities or large agglomerations. Impacts and monetized impacts are then provided.
