Abstract Purpose Pesticides are applied to agricultural fields optimise crop yield and their global use is substantial. Their consideration in life cycle assessment (LCA) affected by important inconsistencies between the emission inventory impact phases of LCA. A clear definition delineation product system model (life inventory—LCI, technosphere) natural environment assessment—LCIA, ecosphere) missing could be established via consensus building. Methods workshop held 2013 Glasgow, UK, had...
Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are porous with high surface area that offer enormous flexibility of design and tailoring its properties to be used in diverse chemical processes. Most the reported MOF were evaluated powder produced small scale where synthesis has been optimized obtain crystalline powders. Ideally, industrialization these will also associated efficient scalable protocols. Moreover, for as environmental-benign materials, their sustainable. We present a cradle-to-gate...
Global warming represents a major subject on all society levels including governments, economic actors and citizens. The textile industry is often considered polluting activity. In this project, French manufacturers sought to quantify the carbon footprint (CF) of sold clothes household linen using Life Cycle Assessment in France for purpose reducing it meet constraints Paris Agreement by 2050. First, calculated 17 products established alternative scenarios four production routes. Secondly,...
ABSTRACT In life-cycle assessment (LCA), it is desirable to compare quantities of chemicals released into the environment in terms risk and consequences toxicological effects. Many current methods rely directly on adaptations regulatory-orientated approaches. The resultant hazard-based indicators reflect differences maximum likely individual exposure region for an emission regulatory limits. Such indicators, however, may not provide a consistent basis relative comparison across risk, as they...
Abstract This paper compares available options for the aquatic ecotoxicological effect factor component in life-cycle assessment (LCA). The is expressed here as change risk per unit cumulative exposure, Δeffect/Δexposure. comparison restricted to approaches linked, implicitly well explicitly, species-sensitivity distributions (SSDs). draws on recent insights chemical mixtures and identifies implications of different model choices. In spite many options, assumptions, areas further research,...
Ecological Risk Assessment is used to evaluate the potential hazards environment that are attributable emissions of pollutants from industries. There guidance available regarding general ecological risk assessment process including problem formulation, exposure and effect analyses, characterization. In a first step, Screening-Level (SLERA) whether can put receptor ecosystems at or not. Concerning releases nuclear facilities under authorization, any SLERA challenging task because (1) large...
Solar thermal systems are an ecological way of providing domestic hot water.They experiencing a rapid growth since the beginning last decade.This study characterizes environmental performances such installations with life-cycle approach.The methodology is based on application international standards Life Cycle Assessment.Two types presented.Firstly temperate-climate system, solar collectors and backup energy as heat sources.Secondly, tropical thermosiphonic system no energy.For systems, two...
The international expansion of the PV industry can affect range indirect environmental impacts, and mostly CO2 equivalent emissions, solar electricity produced in any country. We demonstrate a clear trend towards high variation global warming potential France by installations which use modules with different mix. is somewhat less important when looking at Energy Payback Time (EPBT) installation. In studied case, transportation between countries has low effect compared to choice made on...
Worldwide electricity consumption increases by 2.6% each year. Greenhouse gas emissions due to production raise 2.1% per year on average. The development of efficient low-carbon-footprint renewable energy systems is urgently needed. CPVMatch investigates the feasibility mirror or lens-based High Concentration Photovoltaic (HCPV) systems. Thanks innovative four junction solar cells, new glass coatings, Position Sensitive Detectors (PSD), and DC/DC converters, it possible reach concentration...
For the environmental analysis we compared; amongst other parameters; contaminating gas emissions produced by each cogeneration device; and assessed financial cost of damage caused these emissions. We also bore in mind emission levels created from system; both immediately around plant surrounding areas affected prevailing wind directions. Finally; compared noise two devices determined applying corrective acoustic insulation where necessary.
