LCA frequently examines the life cycle of various products for which the production phase appears to carry the largest share of environmental burdens. However, we often assume in our models that the product's material mass remains to the product's end-of-life (EOL) phase. At EOL management, the material product is then usually modeled as a split [...]

LCA studies of nanotechnologies are increasingly important as nanomaterials are becoming widespread in consumer products. It is inevitable that nanoparticles will interact with organisms during their production, use, recovery, and/or disposal. With the lack of data from long-term studies, analysts must make hypothetical assumptions and examine a large range of potential outcomes to model [...]
