The chemical footprint of a product is an important factor for evaluating human toxicity and determining ecotoxic effects caused by chemical pollutants in the entire production cycle and is the premise and effective means to carry out the identification, assessment, and control of chemical, environmental risk. The study reviewed the progress of research on chemical and product chemical footprints. It unified the key issues such as accounting boundaries, data lists, accounting methods, and result evaluation of product chemical footprint calculation. On this basis, we propose methods for evaluating product chemical footprints, providing a normative reference for enterprises and relevant research institutions. The future research is likely to obtain innovative results in the research and application of chemical footprint labels, research on characterization factor calculation methods for chemical substances, construction and standardization of chemical use, and emission database and promotion of a chemical-based guarantee mechanism for environmental management.
产品的化学足迹是评估人类毒性和确定整个生产周期中化学污染物对生态毒性影响的重要因素，也是开展化学、环境风险识别、评估和控制的前提和有效手段。本研究综述了化学品和产品化学足迹研究进展，统一了产品化学足迹计算的核算边界、数据清单、核算方法和结果评价等关键问题，在此基础上提出了产品化学足迹评价方法，为企业和相关研究机构提供了规范性参考。未来的研究可能在化学足迹标签的研究和应用、化学物质特征化因子计算方法的研究、化学物质使用的构建和标准化、排放数据库以及促进基于化学的环境管理保障机制方面取得创新性成果。
