This book offers a detailed presentation of the principles and
practice of life cycle impact assessment. As a volume of the LCA
compendium, the book is structured according to the LCIA framework
developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation
(ISO)passing through the phases of definition or selection of
impact categories, category indicators and characterisation models
(Classification): calculation of category indicator results
(Characterisation); calculating the magnitude of category indicator
results relative to reference information (Normalisation); and
converting indicator results of different impact categories by
using numerical factors based on value-choices (Weighting). Chapter
one offers a historical overview of the development of life cycle
impact assessment and presents the boundary conditions and the
general principles and constraints of characterisation modelling in
LCA. The second chapter outlines the considerations underlying the
selection of impact categories and the classification or assignment
of inventory flows into these categories. Chapters three through
thirteen exploreall the impact categories that are commonly
included in LCIA, discussing the characteristics of each followed
by a review of midpoint and endpoint characterisation methods,
metrics, uncertainties and new developments, and a discussion of
research needs. Chapter-length treatment is accorded to Climate
Change; Stratospheric Ozone Depletion; Human Toxicity; Particulate
Matter Formation; Photochemical Ozone Formation; Ecotoxicity;
Acidification; Eutrophication; Land Use; Water Use; and Abiotic
Resource Use. The final two chapters map out the optional LCIA
steps of Normalisation and Weighting.
