Dynamic site-dependent Life Cycle Assessment for assessing impact of human toxicity of a double glazed PVC window

摘要

Current level of morbidity generated by industrial air pollution requires effective tools combining pollutant rates and their risks on human health. Traditional Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) appears to be the most appropriate method for assessing impact of human toxicity by inhalation. However, its interest is limited due to lack of spatial-temporal specificities of emissions. To solve this problem, this research work shows the feasibility of a site-dependent dynamic LCA, obtained by a coupling between a traditional LCA, a method of temporal and spatial disaggregation of pollution rates and a model of numerical dispersion.
