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...
