Chapter 8 The conceptual structure of Life Cycle Impact Assessment Helias A. Udo de Haes and Erwin W. Lindeijer Life-Cycle Impact Assessment: Striving towards Best Practice received a 2003 APEX award for publication excellence (www.apexawards.com). This book was written by a Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) working group and has been published by SETAC Press. It reviews and suggests further progress on most issues concerning life-cycle impact assessment. The APEX Awards is an annual competition for writers, editors, publications staff, business and nonprofit communicators. Awards are based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content, and the ability to achieve overall communications excellence. Experts from 15 countries bring you an up-to-date technical framework, important LCIA application requirements, and critical procedural reviews in Life-Cycle Impact Assessment: Striving towards Best Practice. Building on the work of the ISO and helping to formulate a new cooperative effort, the UNEP–SETAC Life-Cycle Initiative, the editors offer an overview of existing data and methods for different impact categories, and they explore evaluation criteria, including scientific validity, transparency, environmental relevance, feasibility, and links with LCI.
