Description: Integrated Life-Cycle and Risk Assessment for Industrial Processes and Products by Guido Sonnemann, Michael Tsang, Marta Schuhmacher The book covers the use of life-cycle assessment, risk assessment, and a combined framework of the two in the evaluation of environmental damages and sustainability constraints. The new edition will take into account new developments in the last 10 years and will extend the scope of the book to cover also products. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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.

Applications of Environmental Impact Analysis in Industrial Process Chains Review "The Integrated Life-Cycle and Risk Assessment for Industrial Processes and Products book is an excellent contribution to the field of life cycle and risk assessment for the industrial process and product applications. The book speaks to the what, why and how to apply and integrate life cycle and risk assessment. I would highly recommend the book to technical and engineering schools, professors, courses, and students who are looking to embed sustainability attributes into product and industrial process design and improvement."~Jim Fava, FSLCI Details ISBN0367570882 Language English Year 2020 ISBN-10 0367570882 ISBN-13 9780367570880 Publication Date 2020-06-30 Pages 405 Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd UK Release Date 2020-06-30 Edition 2nd Format Paperback Imprint CRC Press Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2020-06-30 NZ Release Date 2020-06-30 Series Advanced Methods in Resource & Waste Management Author Marta Schuhmacher Edited by Marta Schuhmacher Edition Description 2nd edition Alternative 9781498780698 DEWEY 658.575 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
