Presenting a New Method IMPACT 2002+: A New Life Cycle Impact Assessment Methodology
As shown in Fig. 1, LCI results with similar impact pathways (e.g. all elementary flows influencing stratospheric ozone concentrations) are grouped into impact categories at midpoint level, also called midpoint categories. A midpoint indicator characterizes the elementary flows and other environmental interventions that contribute to the same impact. The term 'midpoint' expresses the fact that ...
متن کاملLife cycle impact assessment: a challenge for risk analysts.
Modern technology, together with an advanced economy, can provide a good or service in myriad ways, giving us choices on what to produce and how to produce it. To make those choices more intelligently, society needs to know not only the market price of each alternative, but the associated health and environmental consequences. A fair comparison requires evaluating the consequences across the wh...
متن کاملThreshold-based life cycle impact assessment and marginal change: incompatible?
A recent contribution in this journal on the application of the RAINS model for acidification in life cycle impact assessment is examined as to mathematical consistency and conceptual content. A general recipe for deriving equivalency factors for life cycle impact assessment is derived. This leads to a rejection of threshold-based impact indicators as a basis for tabulating equivalency factors ...
متن کاملDiscovering Life Cycle Assessment Trees from Impact Factor Databases
In recent years, environmental sustainability has received widespread attention due to continued depletion of natural resources and degradation of the environment. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a methodology for quantifying multiple environmental impacts of a product, across its entire life cycle – from creation to use to discard. The key object of interest in LCA is the inventory tree, with t...
متن کاملLife Cycle Impact Assessment Based on Decision Analysis
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a popular tool for evaluating environmental impacts of products and services. However, the methodological choices and framework to assess environmental impacts in LCA are still under discussion. Despite intensive development worldwide, few attempts have been made hitherto to systematically present the theoretical bases of life cycle impact assessment (LCIA). In th...
