LCA is a 'cradle to grave' method of assessing environmental impact. It is an analysis which covers the entire life cycle of a product or function, from the extraction and processing of the raw materials needed to make the product to its recycling and disposal.

Inconsistencies in data collection can impede the usability of the life-cycle inventories (LCI) that are vital to life-cycle assessment (LCA). By offering proposals and insights to improve the efficiency of data collection, ways to facilitate LCI data collection and exchange, and ways to assess data quality, this book brings the most current and best available practices to academicians, researchers, consultants, LCI database builders, LCI data providers, and LCA software developers and practitioners. Bonus: Includes fully searchable CD of parameter lists and hierarchies, nomenclature, and data format import/export results.

The book reviews and advances impact assessment methods and strives for consensus or compromise among method developers. It summarizes the efforts of the SETAC Europe 2nd Working Group on LCIA and draws on the standards for LCA, the International Organization for Standardization 14040 series. It focuses on further development of the technical framework, an overview of the existing data and methods for different impact categories, and evaluation criteria for methods, including scientific validity, transparency, environmental relevance, feasibility, and links with other phases of LCA and LCI methods and data.
