Life-cycle assessment is a methodology used to evaluate the
environmental impacts of a product, process, or service during its
life cycle, and risk assessment is a tool to evaluate potential
hazards to human health and the environment introduced by pollutant
emissions. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals call
for, among other objectives, responsible consumption and production
by decoupling environmental resource use and environmental impacts
from economic growth and human well-being. Life-cycle assessment
and risk assessment are both analytical system approaches that
allow scientists and other decision makers to address these issues
and objectives according to the current understanding of
environmental mechanisms. This book is the first attempt to
illustrate the existing interfaces between life-cycle assessment
and risk assessment and to indicate options for further integration
of both tools. The second edition: Focuses on sustainability
Considers new developments in life-cycle assessment and
environmental risk assessment over the last ten years at the
international level Introduces broader concepts and discussions on
integrative versus the complementary use of life-cycle and risk
assessments Extends the scope of integrated life-cycle and risk
assessments to critical raw materials Includes more case studies
and discusses engineered nanomaterials Featuring contributions from
leading experts, Integrated Life-Cycle and Risk Assessment for
Industrial Processes and Products is a great reference for graduate
students and professionals in environmental management and intends
to catalyze communication between life-cycle assessment and risk
assessment experts and scientists in academia, industry, and
governmental agencies. The practical format of the book-illustrated
with flowcharts, examples, exercises, and concrete
applications-makes it a useful manual for analyzing situations and
making decisions.
