“…However, the exposure models presented in this paper and the case study only focus on the exposures during use stage. In fact, workers doing disposal of building materials might be exposed to higher exposures to certain chemicals, especially for SVOCs, metals and asbestos which are mostly released during renovating/dismantling of old materials (Connors and Duane 2014;Schroeder 2016;Scott and Snyder 2015). Thus, models for estimating occupational exposures during the disposal stage of building materials need to be developed.…”

Purpose-There do not currently exist scientifically defensible ways to consistently characterize the human exposures (via various pathways) to near-field chemical emissions and associated health impacts during the use stage of building materials. The present paper thus intends to provide a roadmap which summarizes the current status and guides future development for integrating into LCA the chemical exposures and health impacts on various users of building materials, with a focus on building occupants. Methods-We first review potential human health impacts associated with the substances in building materials and the methods used to mitigate these impacts, also identifying several of the
