D4.4 Case Study Pollutant Factsheets

Executive Summary

D4.4 ‘Case Study Pollutant Factsheets’ was developed in collaboration with WP6 and contains the finalised and combined ‘Integrated Analysis and Scenario Development’ (M4.1 – M4.3). D4.4 comprises a 3-page factsheet about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a 3-page factsheet about tyre wear particles (TWPs). The factsheets have been delivered as part of Task 4.6: ‘Case study leads and document preparation’ and have been developed with support and contributions from SO, Grid- Arendal, WU, WR, and MIO-ECSDE.

Each case study pollutant factsheet summarises the key information generated in WP4 of the SOS-ZEROPOL2030 project, covering (i) emission sources along the value chain, (ii) an overview of the current environmental risk, (iii) existing value chain and technological actions and strategies, (iv) current governance strategies/efforts/arrangements, and (v) a summary of the scenario development and impact assessment for achieving zero pollution for the regional case studies.
