Human Health Risk Assessment for perovskite materials in PeroCUBE devices: deliverable 7.3
report
This deliverable presents a tier-2 quantitative risk assessment of the perovskite-based devices based on the human health impacts arising due to exposure to potentially toxic substances that have been emitted/released to different environmental compartments (including air, water and soil) over the course of the life cycle of these devices. It is the output of T7.3.
Need for the Deliverable. The overall objective of WP7 is to assess the potential human health risks and to provide a life cycle assessment to balance the risks and benefits of the application of perovskites in lighting and energy harvesting applications. These risks mainly arise from the release of hazardous substances (including materials and solvents) during the production, use or disposal of the perovskite-based devices. Following the tier-0 and tier-1 assessments, potential risks and benefits were identified which were further refined based on the release hotspots. A tier-2 assessment is now needed to quantitatively assess the human health risk based on these identified potential risks and release hotspots. Such tiered approach allows a pro-active approach towards the elimination of any potential risk at an early stage of product development and thus enables a better product design or gives guidelines for an improved value chain design.
