HotSpot Scan
Updated 2026-03-25
The HotSpot Scan is a systematic screening tool for identifying potential hotspots in the life cycle of innovative products. It provides an intermediate assessment focusing on the strongest human health and environmental impacts by establishing all material flows. The tool helps estimate emissions and exposure to hazardous substances over the product's life cycle. HSS was initially developed for the assessment of nanomaterials and development of perovskite devices but can be applied to a broad range of applications.
