The impact values for environmental emissions of 52 solvents are estimated and expressed in monetary units. The impact values of solvents present in the air are calculated on the basis of 13 impact indicators and for solvents present in water on additional 2 impact indicators. These impact values are weighted with the results obtained with multi-compartment distribution model, allowing to calculate the fraction of solvent emitted to the environment present in each of the compartments. The results show that the impact values of solvents emissions are in range 0.7 – 1179.06 $ L-1, with mean value 20.69 $ L-1, expressed in USD2019. These impacts are considerably lower for short chain aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones and esters. High impact values are obtained for long chain aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, terpenes and extremely high value for carbon tetrachloride. Monetary values calculated to assess the solvents emissions impact have the advantage that they are quantitative, and easily applicable.
