(Themenhefte Schwerpunktprogramm Umwelt)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLCA - Quo vadis? discusses overarching topics, new developments and major problems of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and compares LCA with site-specific environmental management. The text profits from two years of interdisciplinary, coordinated research activities of the Priority Programme Environment of the Swiss National Science Foundation. \n\u003cbr\u003eHow should system boundaries of a product life cycle be drawn? ·\n\u003cbr\u003eHow can environmental interventions be allocated to products? ·\n\u003cbr\u003eHow are background inventory data collected and used? ·\n\u003cbr\u003eHow can imprecision in the LCA method be ascertained and checked? ·\n\u003cbr\u003eHow can relevant environmental interventions be distinguished from irrelevant ones? ·\n\u003cbr\u003eWhat requirements should a software tool for LCA meet? A concept of site-specific LCA is proposed in response to criticism of the current approach of LCA. Furthermore, managerial eco-controlling - the emerging method of site-specific environmental management - is discussed. The book concludes with an outlook of possible paths in the future development of LCA.\n\u003cbr\u003e A Introduction.- 1 Two Paths.- B Overarching Topics of LCA.- 2 System Boundaries.- 3 Allocation of Environmental Interventions.- 4 Background Inventory Data.- 5 Imprecision and Uncertainty in LCA.- 6 Relevant Environmental Interventions.- 7 The Software Tool EMIS.- C Case Study.- 8 Case Study \"FeldschlÖsschen\".- D Environmental Management of Production Sites.- 9 Eco-Efficiency of LCA.
