Site-dependent life-cycle impact assessment of human toxicity and acidification

Objective



In current environmental life-cycle assessment of products, little attention is paid to the site where an emission is released. It is expected that the relevance of the assessment process can be enhanced by the addition of a few general equivalence factors.
Each link in the cause effect chain can be characterised by a set of descriptors. As a first step, the main descriptors will be identified and their variance will be described. Next, for these descriptors the related discrete situations will be defined.
For these situations equivalence factors will be established that express the equivalent influence of a reference situation. These equivalent factors will be used to develop generic, feasible and easy to handle methods and procedures for site-dependent life-cycle impact assessment of human toxicity and acidification.
