Abstract:Toxic impacts arising from soil pollution pose considerable risks to the environment and to human health. The life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) distinguishes between ecotoxicity and human toxicity, based on the contamination medium. This study compared six LCIA methodologies for assessing toxicity and implemented them in evaluating soil contamination remediation, thus revealing differences in the methodological logic and characterization factors (CFs). The LCIA methodologies in soil remediation assessments h… Show more
