Global Guidance on Environmental Life Cycle Impact Assessment Indicators - Volume 2

Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) approaches for the characterisation of acidification and eutrophication aim to trace the fate of an acidifying or eutrophying emission, the degree to which a sensitive environmental receptor is exposed, the effect of that exposure, and the severity of the effect. Chapter 3 of this international UNEP guide provides guidance towards consensus in modelling approaches and indicators that capture impacts from acidification of terrestrial systems and eutrophication of freshwater and marine systems.
