Combination of life cycle assessment, risk assessment and human biomonitoring to improve regulatory decisions and policy making for chemicals

Autor: Réjane Morand Bourqui, Tobias Walser, Christoph Studer

Publikováno v: Environmental Impact Assessment Review. 65:156-163

Prior to market entry, new chemical substances are assessed for their risk to human health and the environment. Conventional risk assessment (RA) is limited in scope, i.e. it usually does not cover the entire life cycle of a substance, nor does it ta

End-of-life and waste management in life cycle assessment—Zurich, 6 December 2011

Autor: Tobias Walser, Carl Vadenbo, Dominik Saner

Introduction: Waste management is a key component in society's strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of its economic activities. Through its comprehensive system approach, life cycle assessment (LCA) is frequently put forward as a powerful tool fo

Life cycle assessment of engineered nanomaterials: State of the art and strategies to overcome existing gaps

Autor: Roland Hischier, Tobias Walser

Publikováno v: Science of The Total Environment

The use of engineered nanomaterials offers advantages as well as disadvantages from a sustainability perspective. It is important to identify such points as early as possible in order to be able to build on existing strengths, while counteracting dis
