An Introduction:

Life Cycle Assessment is an objective process to evaluate the environmental burdens associated with a product, process, or activity by identifying energy and materials used and wastes released to the environment, and to evaluate and implement opportunities to affect environmental improvements. (SETAC, 1990)

The set of Environmental Life Cycle Assessment Links have been assembled in part as a contribution to further the science and implementation of LCA.  Select the area of interest on the selction bar to search your area of interest. This website is a co-product of my graduate research at Tufts University and came into existence during the discovery phase of my doctoral studies in 1994.  Now that I have completed my studies, I continue to update this portal to continue to promote the use of LCA.
