• Klíčová slova: toxicological footprint; technology; economic recession
• Popis: Between 2006 and 2009, decreasing toxicological footprint was due to decrease in consumption volume triggered by economic recession. Since 2009, the economic recovery increased toxicological footprint, overwhelming the influence of improved emissions intensity through population growth, consumption and production structures. Accordingly, attaining a less-toxic economy and environment will be influenced by a combination of gains in production efficiency through improvement in emissions mitigation technologies and changes in consumption patterns.
