Results in negative in some indicators with Recipe Midpoint H

Question

Answer 1

It is up to you so check where the negative contributions in the toxicity results comes from.

However, toxicity categories often give negative results if biomass is involved, since biomass absorbs heavy metals from the soil during cultivation. In a cradle to gate scenario it is then a sink (and usually it is also not considered in its end of life). This can result in negative toxicity values.
